Echoes in gravitational wave signals suggest that the event horizon of a black hole may be more complicated than scientists currently think.

Research from the University of Waterloo reports the first tentative detection of these echoes, caused by a microscopic quantum “fuzz” that surrounds newly formed black holes.

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space-time, caused by the collision of massive, compact objects in space, such as black holes or neutron stars.

When you throw something into a black hole, its information seems to disappear. This may be a hint that black holes, as well as our entire universe, is 2-dimensional.

Essentially neutrino lasers could take out missiles and also hack missiles or nukes rendering them inert in defense practices.

If we confirm its in its final phase of life, we might learn how to actually predict when these red supergiant stars suddenly explode.

Every major galaxy is home to a supermassive black hole, and our own Milky Way is no exception. Astronomers recently found something unexpected near this massive object — 4 mysterious objects, each similar to a pair of bizarre bodies spotted in recent years in this same region of the galaxy.

Our local supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*, pronounced Sag A star), contains roughly 4 million times as much mass as the Sun. Not far from this black hole, members of a newly-discovered class of objects are caught in a gravitational dance with a massive body.

New measurements could upend the standard theory of the cosmos that has reigned since the discovery of dark energy 21 years ago.

Using a technique akin to echolocation, scientists were able to map the region around a distant black hole’s event horizon in unprecedented detail.
