A historic black hole discovery is changing how scientists explore the universe. Researchers have detected possible fingerprints…

Extremely curved spacetime can warp cause and effect, creating channels for backward communication

Right on the brink of black hole formation, spacetime can get downright peculiar.

MIT Associate Professor Erin Kara seeks to connect the extreme physics of black holes with how galaxies such as our own Milky Way…

"Sometimes a tiny, seemingly insignificant cause is enough to trigger a huge and dramatic change."

Somewhere in the future, there's a finish line in the marathon to understand supermassive black holes (SMBHs).
