'This is the holy grail of theoretical physics.' Is the key to quantum gravity hiding in this new way to make black holes?
A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...
Q&A: Astrophysicist explains how black hole mergers and quasars help detect gravitational wave networks
Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...
Scientists look to black holes to know exactly where we are in the universe. But phones and Wi-Fi are blocking the view
