A new theory for the origin and nature of dark matter resolves some inconsistencies between cosmological predictions and astronomical data.
Physicists identify a quantum membrane in merging black holes
The existence of a quantum membrane is predicted by some theories of gravity, and scientists might be one step closer to identifying one.
Black holes take 2020 Nobel prize in physics
Three laureates share this year’s Nobel prize in physics for their discoveries about one of the most exotic phenomena in the universe: the black hole.
Black hole images deliver a deathblow to alternative theory of gravity
Images of the supermassive black holes wouldn’t have been possible if mimetic gravity was the right recipe for gravity.
