Black Hole Merger Supports Hawking's Theorem

Astronomers announced on September 17, 2025, the detection of a black hole merger that provides strong evidence for Stephen Hawking's area theorem. Observed via gravitational waves, the event aligns with predictions that black hole surface areas cannot decrease. This bolsters fundamental physics theories amid ongoing cosmic explorations.

Astronomers detected the strongest black hole collision yet on September 11, 2025, resonating with Einstein's predictions. The event involved massive black holes merging, producing significant gravitational waves. This finding was published in a leading science journal, advancing astrophysics.

Galaxies eject matter more violently than expected

A new analysis reveals that supermassive black holes in galaxies fling out baryonic matter far more aggressively than previously thought, explaining the long-missing cosmic gas. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley combined observations of the cosmic microwave background to map how this ordinary matter diverges from dark matter. The findings highlight the powerful role of black holes in shaping the universe's mass distribution.

Scientists uncover hidden energy mechanism in M87 black hole

Astrophysicists at Goethe University Frankfurt have simulated how the supermassive black hole M87* powers its massive particle jet using a new numerical code. Their findings reveal that magnetic reconnection, alongside the traditional Blandford-Znajek mechanism, extracts rotational energy from the black hole. This discovery explains the immense jets that influence galaxy evolution.
