2002 — Physicists at The Ohio State University publish fuzzball theory, which is a quantum description of black holes positing that they are extended objects composed of strings and don't have singularities. 2002 — NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory identifies double galactic black holes system in merging galaxies NGC 6240
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared on 8 March 2014, after departing from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing, with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board. [1] Malaysia's then Prime Minister, Najib Razak, stated that the aircraft's flight ended somewhere in the Indian Ocean, but no further explanation was given at the time. [2]
Pulsars had already been discovered and black holes were no longer considered mere textbook curiosities. [15] Cygnus X-1, the first solid black-hole candidate, was discovered by the Uhuru X-ray space telescope in 1971. [1] Jeremy Bernstein described it as "one of the great papers in twentieth-century physics." [14]
Scientists have discovered the oldest black hole yet, a cosmic beast formed a mere 470 million years after the Big Bang. The findings, published Monday, confirm what until now were theories that ...
ULAS J1342+0928 is the third-most distant known quasar detected and contains the second-most distant and oldest known supermassive black hole, [1] [5] [6] [7] at a reported redshift of z = 7.54. The ULAS J1342+0928 quasar is located in the Boötes constellation . [ 3 ]
Currently, the most compelling explanation is that scientists are witnessing the “awakening” of a supermassive black hole (which is at least 100,000 times more massive than our Sun) at the ...
Robert K. Merton defined such "multiples" as instances in which similar discoveries are made by scientists working independently of each other. [1] "Sometimes", writes Merton, "the discoveries are simultaneous or almost so; sometimes a scientist will make a new discovery which, unknown to him, somebody else has made years before." [2]
Scientists say they solved the Hawking information paradox, which states that information can neither be emitted from a black hole or preserved inside forever.
