Einstein believed that black holes didn't really exist. But they do: that much we know. We don't know much else about them.

Physics has a problem: the rules that govern the cosmos break down when we look inside atoms. This episode explores the quest to unify general relativity with quantum mechanics—two theories that both ...

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending ...

A team of physicists have discovered a new approach that redefines the conception of a black hole by mapping out their ...

During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String ...

Earlier studies provided a rough picture of black holes, like a low-resolution image with 1,000 pixels. In contrast, ...
