Black holes News

The universe's lithium supply is, at the most one-third of what it should be. Now, black holes have been considered a source of the element, but that only complicates things more as it deepens the question of how all of it disappears.

Astronomers have unexpectedly discovered two of the largest black holes ever seen in the universe. The black holes are millions of times larger and denser than any previously recorded: large enough to swallow out solar system many times over.

Leicester - A press release by the Royal Astronomical Society says a team of astronomers led by Dr. Sergei Nayakshin has proposed that doughnut-shaped dust surrounding supermassive black holes arise from high speed collisions between planets and asteroids.

New computer simulations have confirmed the existence of a large number of gigantic black holes in our home galaxy, the Milky Way, left over from the time of its birth.

Doomsayers don’t need a lot of encouragement. The idea is to crash a few protons together and compress matter, generating a lot of energy. The theory is that this will create a micro black hole, which will swallow Europe and then the world.

Could a scientific experiment accidently destroy the world? The question pops up every now and then, even among scientists. An upcoming super-collider experiment is raising fears among the disaster-minded and scientifically ignorant.

Black holes might not exist. At least they might not look like the way scientists have imagined them. A troubling paradox in physics might have given rise to a brand new controversial calculation which abolishes the idea of "event horizon."

The mysteries of space are never-ending. The question of dark matter, black holes, and creation of galaxies raises perplexed questions on whether co-evolution really exists: Are the black holes indispensable forces of creation of galaxies?

If you're looking for a black hole in the sky, this picture makes it easy to think that they're not hard to find. A new wide-field panorama reveals more than one thousand supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies.
