Description of Michell's theory of black holes "Mystery at the Rectory: some light on John Michell" by Richard Crossley at the Wayback Machine (archived 31 October 2008) John Michell biography, from "Our Place in the Universe" by Norman K. Glendenning; BBC: "The forgotten priest who predicted black holes – in 1783"
These black holes could be the seeds of the supermassive black holes found in the centres of most galaxies. [128] It has further been suggested that massive black holes with typical masses of ~10 5 M ☉ could have formed from the direct collapse of gas clouds in the young universe. [124]
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
Wheeler and Edwin F. Taylor wrote Spacetime Physics (1966) and Scouting Black Holes (1996). Alluding to Wheeler's "mass without mass", the festschrift honoring his 60th birthday was titled Magic Without Magic: John Archibald Wheeler: A Collection of Essays in Honor of his Sixtieth Birthday (1972). His writing style could also attract parodies ...
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (/ ˌ tʃ ə n d r ə ˈ ʃ eɪ k ər /; [3] 19 October 1910 – 21 August 1995) [4] was an Indian-American theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to the scientific knowledge about the structure of stars, stellar evolution and black holes.
Scientists studying the earliest black holes may have found an answer to dark matter, putting Stephen Hawking’s theory on the subject back into the spotlight.
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 ...
In August 2015, Hawking said that not all information is lost when something enters a black hole and there might be a possibility to retrieve information from a black hole according to his theory. [214] In July 2017, Hawking was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Imperial College London. [215]
