Now, decades later, a new species of traversable wormhole has emerged, free of exotic material and full of potential for helping physicists resolve a baffling paradox about black holes. This paradox ...

A new mathematical model of a wormhole suggests that two black holes can be “cut and pasted.” Cut and paste is an official concept in math, referring to two surfaces that may be transposable. In this ...

Astronomers were puzzled by a black hole around 50 million times the mass of the sun with no stars, spotted by the James Webb ...

Back in the prehistoric days of theoretical astrophysics (1985), in a mystical and exotic corner of planet Earth (Fresno, California), a man sat in the back of a car and tried to break the spacetime ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Theoretical physicists have long debated the possible existence of wormholes, which are mathematically possible, but no evidence points to their ...

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar created a black hole that would later turn out to be fairly scientifically accurate.

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

Imagine two towns on two opposite sides of a mountain. People from these towns would probably have to travel all the way around the mountain to visit one another. But, if they wanted to get there ...

Dustin Henderson and the rest of the squad in Stranger Things get a pretty decent briefer on wormholes by his science teacher ...

Astronomers have found a system of three supermassive black holes, all actively feeding, that appear to be combining into a ...

Black holes have long captured the imagination of both scientists and the general public. These exotic objects—once thought ...
