One explanation for this phenomenon is that the "universe was born rotating," Lior Shamir, a computer science professor at Kansas State University and author of the study, said in a statement. This ...

Evidence that the universe is rotating was recently delivered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which found that ...

Rotating black holes are the most powerful phenomenon in the known universe. Their powerful gravity radically alters the curvature of spacetime around them, leading to relativistic effects like ...

Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable ...

"I think that the simplest explanation of the rotating universe is the universe was born in a rotating black hole," University of New Haven theoretical physicist Nikodem Poplawski, who champions ...

Black holes are a drag. The energy that Penrose and now Pinochet suggest could theoretically be extracted from black holes is the kinetic energy that keeps them rotating.

Without a doubt, since its launch, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revolutionized our view of the early universe, but its new findings could put astronomers in a spin. In fact, it could tell ...

New research that used imaging from the James Webb Space Telescope gives credence to a scientific theory that says the Milky Way is inside of a black hole ...

Black holes are mysterious objects. One longstanding question has been whether rotating black holes, which are so powerful they drag space-time along with them, could be used as an energy source.

In 1971, English mathematical physicist and Nobel-prize winner Roger Penrose proposed how energy could be extracted from a rotating black hole. He argued that this could be done by building a ...

In a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, scientists propose a comprehensive theoretical framework indicating ...

The black hole resides at the heart of a galaxy about 7.5 billion light-years from Earth. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).
