Naked singularities: how quantum black holes explain why we don’t see the end of space and time

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result is a “singularity” – a point of infinite density or curvature.

Unusual black hole light bursts puzzle astronomers: 'We are finding a lot of weird stuff'

Astronomers have stumbled upon a pair of massive black holes in a distant galaxy that are triggering unusual bursts of light that may be caused by the black hole duo disrupting a massive gas cloud — a phenomenon researchers say is the first of its kind to be detected.

Dark matter might make space-time ring like a bell around black holes — and we might be able to 'hear' it

To explain why dark matter particles haven't come up in any direct detection experiments, physicists have wondered if it may be a kind of particle known as an axion.

Egg-shaped galaxies may be aligned to the black holes at their hearts, astronomers find

Black holes don’t have many identifying features. They come in one colour (black) and one shape (spherical).
