Dark Disguise New research is rekindling an old hypothesis about the nature of black holes that could resolve a fundamental problem at the heart of physics. Black holes are cryptic cosmic objects with a center point of incredible,

For decades, black holes have been viewed as the most mysterious and powerful objects in the universe—regions of spacetime with gravitational pulls so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape.

New research has looked at an alternative idea for what black holes are, suggesting that they might not be what we thought. Black holes are an enormous source of gravity, "bubbles", and headaches. Predicted as a result of Einstein's general theory of relativity,

Hubble uncovers how a black hole’s jet in M87 triggers stellar eruptions, revealing new insights into black hole jets and novae.

The jets of material that spew from black holes catalyze stellar eruptions, surprising astronomers and raising questions about the jets' role in the universe.

Conventional theories based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity explain how black holes can exist on their own. But pairs of the massive astronomical objects would eventu
