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.

Strongest Black Hole Collision Detected

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.

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.

Black holes may explain 60-year cosmic rays mystery

Scientists at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology propose that winds from supermassive black holes could accelerate ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, solving a puzzle dating back to 1962. These particles, mostly atomic nuclei, reach energies up to 10^20 electron volts. The hypothesis suggests these winds, moving at half the speed of light, fling particles across the cosmos.
