For obvious reasons, we do not know what the inside of a black hole looks like. But thanks to theoretical physics, we can ask ...

By constructing these so-called Einstein-Rosen caterpillar wormholes, researchers offer a tangible way to imagine what the inside of a typical black hole might look like. Rather than being smooth or ...

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a gravitational wave that lasted just one-tenth of a second. The signal, known as ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: In May of 2019, a short-duration binary black hole (BBH) merger contained no evidence of the inspiral signal typical of these kinds of a ...

Back in 2019, the gravitational wave observatories LIGO and Virgo detected major ripples in spacetime. While astronomers generally agree that the event, dubbed GW190521, was the result of two black ...
