The jury is still out on whether the Large Hadron Collider can create a micro black hole and whether it can live long enough to be detected.
# space
The biggest problem with creating a warp drive is coming up with the energy to power one, even for a moment.

At the end of the universe, black holes will be the only things left and they will define what happens in the cosmos for countless eons.
# science
Researchers want to put the idea that black holes evaporate through minute interactions with the outside universe to the test.
# space
We can't see a black hole directly, even a supermassive one. But we can see where they are by tracking the orbits of the objects around them...
# science
Two physicists ask if you could ever expose the mysterious core of a black hole in a new paper.
# space
Astronomers are trying to zero in on the largest mass for a stellar black hole and found a monster larger and hungrier than they expected.
# science
Black holes are often described as tears in space and time. But that's not what they really are. What they really are is so much stranger...
# science
Theoretical warp drives keep finding more ways to kill their users and everything around them. This time, with artificial black holes.
