How confusing inevitability with reality built decades of paradox. What if general relativity never actually tells us that ...

So yeah, the Warhammer 40,000 setting has galaxy crushing might under its belt. But, it seems, the various races of the 41st ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...

Black holes are some of the most enigmatic objects in the universe, capable of deforming the fabric of space around them so violently that not even light can escape their gravitational grip. But it ...

Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

Ramanujan's pi-computing machinery exactly mirrors the necessary structure in modern physical theories (LCFTs).

Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if you analyze the ashes of the fire, the smoke and the flames to re-create ...

Supersonic shock waves are cone-shaped disturbances that result from an object moving faster than the speed of sound. If you were unlucky enough to be struck by a primordial black hole, its shock ...

Some of the darkest objects in the universe are also among its brightest beacons, lighting up entire galaxies while their ...

On Sept. 14, 2015 astronomers “heard” two black holes crashing into each other at close to the speed of light. This discovery was a watershed moment in physics and astrophysics, heralding an entirely ...
