What Stephen Hawking Really Meant When He Said There Are No Black Holes
When Stephen Hawking was quoted earlier this year as saying that “there are no black holes,” he wasn't really talking about black holes. At least not about black holes as you or I imagine them—astrophysical objects that suck in everything, even light. Those, everyone agrees, are just as black as ever. Hawking's quip instead concerns black holes in a highly theoretical sense. Like many other theorists,… → Read More
Dark Matter Simulations Help Solve Milky Way Mystery [Video]
The Milky Way’s satellite galaxies appear to lie on a single plane—a puzzling and wholly unexpected alignment. In “Dwarf Galaxies and the Dark Web,” an article in the March 2014 Scientific American, astrophysicist Noam Libeskind describes how supercomputer simulations of galaxy formation might help solve this riddle. Libeskind has worked on simulations such as the CLUES project, which model dark matter… → Read More
