He is first Indian scientist to win Oskar Klein Medal: Meet physicist Ashoke Sen, who found new ways to understand black holes, gravity & string theory

Indian physicist Ashoke Sen has become the first Indian to receive the 2026 Oskar Klein Medal for his pioneering contributions to string theory, black-hole physics and quantum gravity. The ICTS-TIFR professor delivered the memorial lecture, ‘Gravity from strings and strings from gravity’, in Stockholm on October 22. Sen has also…

Galaxy Rotation Brings Scientists To The Conclusion That Our Entire Universe Is Inside A Black Hole

The universe may be 13.8 billion years old, but there’s still plenty we don’t understand about the cosmos. A researcher analyzing observations from the James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a puzzling pattern in how distant galaxies rotate. The finding has raised questions about why the galaxies appear to favor…

The strange 2% rule: Why black holes suddenly switch on their powerful jets

A new study reveals black holes become predictable when feeding. Jets emerge when accretion rates fall to two percent of the Eddington limit. This threshold applies to black holes of vastly different sizes. Tidal disruption events offer a rare view of this process. Future observations may predict when these powerful…

What’s really hiding around Einstein’s black holes? Scientists find a new gravitational wave clue, a ringing sound that could expose their mysterious ‘hair’

Scientists are exploring subtle changes in black hole ringdown signals. These gravitational wave echoes could reveal surrounding matter or new physics. Subtle mismatches in frequency and damping may indicate hidden structures. Spinning black holes offer additional directional clues for detection. Future observations could test gravity in extreme cosmic environments.

Science says black holes don’t actually suck everything around them: Here’s what really happens

Black Holes are called black because light cannot escape from inside their event horizons. Astronomers nevertheless detect black holes indirectly through their effects on nearby matter, gravitational lensing, stellar orbits and radiation from accretion disks.

Why do black hole flares die out? It may be down to how stars spin

Some stars encounter supermassive black holes and live to tell the tale. New research shows why the flares these encounters cause dim over repeated episodes.

Burnham warned trans-pacific £2bn trade boost fails ‘to plug Brexit black hole’

The warnings come after The Independent revealed last week that the UK has lost £11.7bn a year in trade as a result of leaving the EU while 98.2 per cent of businesses want access to the single market again
