"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...
