A team of UBC physicists and engineers have designed an experiment featuring a trough of flowing water to help bolster a 35-year-old theory proposed by eminent physicist Stephen Hawking. In 1974, ...

Recent observations of gravitational waves from merging black holes have confirmed a theory proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking half a century ago. This breakthrough not only validates Hawking’s ...

One of the most profound messages Stephen Hawking left humanity with is that nothing lasts forever — and, at last, scientists could be ready to prove it. This idea was conveyed by what was arguably ...

In 1974 Stephen Hawking famously claimed that black holes should emit particles as well as absorb them. This so-called "Hawking radiation" has not yet been observed, but now a research group from ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) is a physics framework that describes how particles and forces behave based on principles rooted in quantum mechanics and Albert Einstein's special relativity theory. This ...

Stephen Hawking’s paradoxical finding that black holes don’t live forever has profound, unresolved implications for the quest for unifying theories of reality. In essence, what Hawking, who died six ...

"GW250114 is the loudest gravitational wave event we have detected to date; it was like a whisper becoming a shout." The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is celebrating 10 ...

Science aims to push the boundaries known to man, and that ideology is what took place from the recent study from the University of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands where they created a black hole in the ...
