Back in 1971, the late physicist Stephen Hawking made an intriguing prediction: The total surface area of a black hole cannot decrease, only increase or remain stable. So if two black holes combine, ...

There are certain rules that even the most extreme objects in the universe must obey. A central law for black holes predicts that the area of their event horizons — the boundary beyond which nothing ...

For the first time, we've observed a 50-year-old theorem from Stephen Hawking in the natural world. Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California Institute of Technology, ...

More than 50 years ago, acclaimed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking theorized that the area of a black hole could never decrease. On Sept. 10, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, a global network ...

The most important theorem we learnt in childhood carries the name of a Greek philosopher, but not necessarily the legacy. Evidence increasingly shows that the theorem existed long before his lifetime ...

Sound: vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear. Seems like sound to me. Merge big enough black holes close enough and the ...
