What Does an Exploding Black Hole Look Like?
Quasars, or extremely active black holes are the brightest objects in the universe. But aren't black holes meant to be invisible? Based on the Illustris Project simulation, we also look at radio-mode and quasar-mode feedback, seemingly...

What Exactly is Spacetime? Explained in Ridiculously Simple Words
Spacetime, as a concept, is related to a space that consists of 4 dimensions instead of the regular 3-dimensional space. As early as 1905, Einstein proposed a now widely popular theory that the speed of light is independent of the motion...

Can Light Escape a Black Hole?
Light is affected by black holes because of the theory of general relativity, which states that any massive object warps the spacetime around it. Since a photon travels by the shortest distance between two points, light appears to bend...

Black Holes Explained: What Is a Black Hole? How They Form?
A black hole is a celestial body or simply a place in space where the gravitational pull is so high that nothing, not even light can escape it. This is why it's completely black, and hence it's called a black hole. A black hole's...
