Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the Centro Atómico Bariloche recently introduced a new model of black hole microstates regarding the origin of entropy (i.e., the degree of ...

The connection between gravity and entropy is not new. Previous research has shown that black holes have entropy and emit ...

If it’s true, this work could have ramifications for some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, including learning where we came from.

Why does it matter if some black holes are connected by wormholes? It turns out that they modify the answer of how much entanglement entropy there is between the black hole and its Hawking radiation.

The existence of a connection between black holes and entropy also raises the possibility that Bianconi’s framework could shed new light on the black hole information paradox. Since black holes are ...

By investigating the maze function that governs these brane intersections, the study reveals how mazes have the capacity to reproduce black hole entropy and potentially describe black hole ...

This puzzle was solved a few years later by Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein, who proposed that black holes have entropy based on their surface area. The larger the black hole, the more ...

While it's much smaller than the largest supermassive black holes detected, it's still a whopper considering how early in the history of the universe it appeared. An enormous black hole in the ...
