The Latest Breaking News from Black Hole

Black hole discovery validates Stephen Hawking’s research after five decades

Black holes may be the fiercest objects in the universe, yet we still know very little about them

The Independent UK

The discovery of a gravitational wave 10 years ago shook astrophysics – these ripples in spacetime continue to reveal dark objects in the cosmos

Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes in September 2015. This discovery marked the culmination of a 100-year quest to prove one of Einstein’s predictions.
