Scientists say there's a 90% chance we could spot an exploding black hole in the next decade

New research suggests that if primordial black holes exist, there is a 90% chance our telescopes could detect one exploding in the next 10 years.

10 years ago, gravitational waves changed astronomy. A new discovery shows there’s more to come

Ten years ago, scientists heard the universe rumble for the first time. That first discovery of gravitational waves proved a key prediction from Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity and began a new era of astronomy.

Crashing black holes validate Stephen Hawking – new research

Black holes may be the fiercest objects in the universe, yet we still know very little about them. It has only been a decade since we confirmed their existence by detecting gravitational waves: ripples in the fabric of spacetime.

Scientists use Stephen Hawking theory to propose 'black hole morsels' — strange, compact objects that could reveal new physics

Violent black hole collisions may create black hole 'morsels' no larger than an asteroid — and these bizarre objects could pave the way to unlocking new physics, a study claims.

What if the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning? Our research suggests it may have taken place inside a black hole

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe – a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our universe emerged from something else – something more familiar and radical at…

Death of the universe predicted to arrive much sooner using Stephen Hawking-inspired theory

Astrophysicists have proposed a new theoretical maximum lifespan for the universe, which suggests that dead stars are decaying much faster than previously thought. The estimate of stellar remnant decay is based on Stephen Hawking's famous black hole radiation theory.
