Using X-ray data to test Einstein's theory of gravity, their study gives the first observational proof that a "plunging-region" exists around black holes: an area where matter stops circling the ...
"This represents an exciting new development in the study of black holes," astrophysicist Andrew Mummery said.
Scientists have proven one of Einstein’s theories, finding evidence that a plunging-region around black holes not only exists, but also exerts some of the strongest gravitational forces yet ...
Albert Einstein’s theory states that it is impossible for particles to safely follow circular orbits when close to a black hole. Published May 15 Scientists have proven one of Einstein’s theories, ...
