'Einstein's equations need to be refined': Tweaks to general relativity could finally explain what lies at the heart of a black hole

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly lies at the heart of a black hole.

'Cosmic Horseshoe' may contain black hole the size of 36 billion suns — one of the largest ever detected

The "Cosmic Horseshoe" is an Einstein ring, a system made up of a foreground galaxy whose mass is so great, it warps the light from a galaxy behind it. Now, astronomers know where it gets this mass from.

Quantum effects make distant objects move together: new research finds this may happen with ripples in space

Galaxies, planets, black holes: to most people, everything about our Universe sounds and feels enormous. But while it’s true that much of what happens millions of light years away is large, there are also processes happening at the quantum end of the scale. That’s the branch of science which explains…
