What would happen if you were thrown into a black hole? This video uses real physics (not science fiction) to explore black ...

“You’re not meant to understand what I just said, because I don’t understand what I just said…” Physicist Brian Cox on one of the most complex theories in space science.

Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, even light, can escape. Einstein's theory of general relativity breaks down inside black holes, either by the presence of a so ...

Imagine holding one of our most precise quantum devices at a fixed position outside a black hole. A Josephson junction—two superconductors separated by an ultrathin barrier—can turn a voltage into a ...

The quantum revolution in physics -- whose 100th anniversary we have just celebrated -- taught us that at the most basic level the world is bizarrely different than it seems. But, we appear to only ...

Researchers have recreated the physics of extracting energy from a spinning black hole using a stationary device that produces synthetic ultrafast rotation. The achievement transforms a long-standing ...

In 1916, only a year after Albert Einstein had published his general theory of relativity, Karl Schwarzschild used mathematical calculations to show this: If sufficient mass could be placed into an ...

After two black holes collide, the newly formed object does not immediately become quiet. It vibrates, sending gravitational waves through space as a rapidly fading set of tones. Physicists call this ...
