One Lab’s Quest to Build Space-Time Out of Quantum Particles
...you would need a particle accelerator as big as the Milky Way galaxy. Likewise, black holes hold singularities that are governed by quantum gravity, but no black holes are particularly...
The Near-Magical Mystery of Quasiparticles
...study how black holes evolve with time. The Nobel Prize-winning mathematical physicist Roger Penrose theorized that rotating black holes can lose energy and gradually slow down; Jacquet plans to test...
Extra-Long Blasts Challenge Our Theories of Cosmic Cataclysms
...heavy spinning black hole, the neutron star spirals in and the black hole shreds it over hundreds of orbits, leaving a heavier disk of material that the black hole needs...
Cosmic Paradox Reveals the Awful Consequence of an Observer-Free Universe
Encouraged by successes in understanding black holes, theoretical physicists are applying what they’ve learned to whole universes. What they’re finding has them questioning fundamental assumptions about how physics ought to...
The Year in Physics
...and force scientists to reimagine how familiar cosmic objects came to be — things like stars and planets and black holes. Black holes are also at the center of one...
Does Time Really Flow? New Clues Come From a Century-Old Approach to Math.
...these entire ideas.” This new way of thinking about information may suggest a resolution to the black hole information paradox, which asks what happens to information swallowed by black holes....
The Quantum Thermodynamics Revolution
...to everything else: the sun, black holes, living beings and the entire universe. The theory is so simple and general that Albert Einstein deemed it likely to “never be overthrown.”...
Wormhole Experiment Called Into Question
...and vice versa, effectively putting on and taking off the glasses. They watch how particles, black holes and wormholes transform as one switches between the two perspectives. Calculations that are...
Theory of Fluids Enters the 21st Century
...of black holes: Einstein’s theory of gravity. If a black hole had a secret identity as an imperfect, energy-dissipating, viscous fluid, then an effective field theory for imperfect, energy-dissipating, viscous...
