First proof that 'plunging regions' exist around black holes in space
An international team led by researchers at Oxford University Physics have proved Einstein was correct about a key prediction concerning black holes. Using X-ray data to test Einstein's theory of gravity,
Einstein Proven Right on Black Holes' 'Plunging Regions'
"This represents an exciting new development in the study of black holes," astrophysicist Andrew Mummery said.
Scientists discover bizarre region around black holes that proves Einstein right yet again
Einstein's general theory of relativity predicted that so-called 'plunging regions' around black holes would accelerate matter into them at the speed of light. Now, X-ray observations of a remote black hole have proved him right.
Study proves black holes have a ‘plunging region,’ just as Einstein predicted
Astronomers say they have for the first time observed an area of a black hole predicted by Albert Einstein about 10,000 light-years from Earth.
Cosmic Archaeology: Using Black Holes To Uncover Evidence of the Universe’s First Stars
Researchers have developed a method to detect the first stars of the universe by observing the unique flares produced when these stars are torn apart by black holes. These findings could allow us to understand more about the early universe,
Cosmic Cascade: Astronomers Witness Matter's Final Plunge into Black Hole
Data from MAXI J1820+070 shows Einstein was right about how matter plunges into a black hole
A team of astrophysicists from the University of Oxford, Newcastle University and the Institute of Astronomy, all in the U.K., working with a colleague from the University of Virginia, in the U.S., has found evidence showing that Albert Einstein was correct when his theory of general relativity predicted how matter that came to close to a black hole would fall into it.
