Recent observations suggest that 'runaway' black holes are tumbling through the cosmos. Building on decades of theory, the discovery adds a remarkable new chapter to the story of the universe.

New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the ...

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...

The loudest black hole collision ever recorded has just given Einstein’s theory of general relativity its hardest test so far. The event, dubbed GW250114, produced a record-smashing signal-to-noise ...

The sharpest black hole collision ever detected just gave Einstein another win—and raised hopes that the next one might ...

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...

There is a lot we have yet to understand about the center of the Milky Way—could it be due to a mass of invisible dark matter?

Hypothetical dark matter stars known as "boson stars" could leave telltale ripples across the cosmos, offering researchers a new way to probe the invisible forces shaping the universe. In 2019, a ...

For the first time, scientists have detected two black hole mergers with spins so unusual they may reveal a new generation of cosmic collisions. The twin discoveries, labeled GW241011 and GW241110, ...

Recent progress in string theory has significantly reshaped our understanding of black holes. Traditionally seen as objects characterised by event horizons and singularities, black holes are now being ...

Last night, CNN's own Don Lemon speculated that the missing Malaysia Airlines flight may have disappeared from the earth because of something "we don't really understand." That thing? Black holes. An ...
