Exploring bleeding edge experiments, oddities, new and bizarre dicoveries, and fact-checking conspiracy theories since 2008. No question is out of bounds and no topic is too strange for a deep dive.

If wormholes big enough for spaceships to traverse exist, we should be able to detect them just by looking at the sky.

While we still don't know how supermassive black holes get as heavy and large as they are, but we have a few ideas...

Black holes radiate virtually no energy, much less anything we'd consider heat. But that doesn't mean their innards aren't superheated to cosmic extremes...
# space
A new paper concludes that black holes are periodically giving birth to new universes. How it arrives at that conclusion raises a lot of questions.

While we'd need to generate an immense amount of energy to power a warp drive, there are events in this universe with that kind of energy output...

Something is wrong in the data we get when we measure distances to far away quasars to see how fast the universe is expanding.
# space
What happens to particles swallowed by a black hole? The answer could either confirm our understanding of the universe or alter everything we know about it.
# space
At the dawn of the universe, enormous black holes were among the first things to be born, and at the end of it, they will be among the last to die.

A star-munching monster of general relativity is a lot closer to Earth than we thought according to new observations...

Can we turn black holes into a way to explore space at relativistic speeds? A pair of physicists thinks it may be plausible if we have enough powerful lasers...
