Physicists predict the universe’s expansion will reverse, ending in a dramatic big crunch about 20 billion years from now.| The Debrief
Black holes have been in the news a couple times recently. On one end, there was the observation of an extremely large black hole in the early universe, when no black holes of the kind were expected to exist. My understanding is this is very much a “big if true” kind of claim, something that […]| 4 gravitons
International researchers who studied the merging of two black holes say their new observations match theories developed by Stephen Hawking and NZ scientist Roy Kerr over half a century ago. Professor Roy Kerr's 1963 research elegantly explained what space and time look like near a spinning black h| www.sciencemediacentre.co.nz
UMass Amherst physicists believe such an explosion could occur within the next decade, potentially "revolutionizing physics and rewriting the history of the universe." Physicists have long thought that black holes end their lives in rare explosions that occur, at most, once every 100,000 years. N| SciTechDaily
Last Wednesday was an important day, probably the most important of the year related to science. I was about to publish another post with a different topic. However, this revelation has marked a new starting point in the discovery of the universe, and I do have to talk about it. Most of you might have … Continue reading "Black holes: the discovery of the year and the decade" The post Black holes: the discovery of the year and the decade appeared first on One-pot Science.| One-pot Science

A new type of gravitational wave detector running in Western Australia has recorded two rare events that might be signals of dark matter or primordial black holes. These high-frequency gravitational waves are beyond the range of most detectors and have never been recorded before.| New Atlas
