This breakthrough relies on an infinite series of higher-order gravitational corrections, thereby eliminating the singularity. Unlike previous models, which required the existence of exotic matter to ...

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly ...

In new research, a physicist describes a “shell singularity,” where gravity applies without mass. Today’s theories for dark matter include many sizes and types for different situations.

Black holes form when a star collapses under its own gravity, creating a singularity – a point of infinite density where the ...

Physicists hope that understanding the churning region near singularities might help them reconcile gravity and quantum mechanics. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a ...

A new study by researchers at the University of Sheffield and Complutense University of Madrid suggests that black holes ...

Thus, naked singularities, if they exist, provide a unique opportunity to probe the quantum gravity near the singularity and other extreme aspects of physics in its surrounding region.

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...
