If you've ever wondered what would actually happen if a microscopic black hole tunneled straight through your body, answers have finally arrived. And surprisingly, the damage would be pretty minor – ...

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 ...

Using a powerful mathematical tool, scientists have unveiled the intricate "ringing" of black holes, unlocking patterns missed for decades and laying the groundwork for sharper gravitational wave ...

Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...
