Recently, two researchers looked at what would happen if a ship with warp drive tried to get into a black hole. The result is an interesting thought experiment. It might not lead to starship-sized ...
Following is the transcript of the video. Narrator: Black holes are some of the most powerful and violent objects in the universe. They can warp space and time and rip entire stars to pieces.
But simple it isn’t. General relativity’s equations fail catastrophically at a black hole’s centre, known as its singularity, where the warping of space-time simply goes off the scale.
OK, that was a little click-baity, but then again, so was the announcement this week that a scientist had confirmed Hawking radiation with a lab-grown black hole. It sure got our attention ...
A new analysis of M87*, the first black hole imaged by humanity, has revealed turbulence in the matter around it, which this supermassive black hole feasts upon. Astronomers have witnessed a ...
The warping of spacetime due to the presence of a black hole is mimicked by tuning how easily electrons can hop between each site. With the right variation of hopping probability along the chain ...
