It’s hard to not be enamored with the gravitational mechanics of a black hole. Past a black hole’s event horizon, absolutely crushing gravity plays havoc on our understanding of physics and produces ...

JWST might have spotted the 'smoking gun' of a hypothetical object called a dark star in the distant Universe. If confirmed, this discovery could solve several mysteries of physics. A dark star may ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Theoretical physicists have long debated the possible existence of wormholes, which are mathematically possible, but no evidence points to their ...

Primordial black holes are hypothetical objects formed during the earliest moments of the universe. According to the models, they formed from micro-fluctuations in matter density and spacetime to ...

It looks like a black hole and bends light like a black hole, but it could actually be a new type of star. Though the mysterious object is a hypothetical mathematical construction, new simulations by ...

Black holes, arguably the strangest objects in the known universe, are notoriously difficult to detect. Scientists from Johns Hopkins University theorize that objects, such as a hypothetical ...

Although traversable wormholes are a popular trope in sci-fi, the space-time structures that connect two different points of the universe are—at least, as of now—completely hypothetical. One of the ...
