A seemingly intractable black hole paradox first proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking could finally be resolved — by wormholes through space-time. The "black hole information paradox" refers to the ...

Boundary issue: Finding the dual quantity to wormhole volume under the holographic principle is a key outstanding problem in quantum gravity. (Courtesy: AllenMcC., CC ...

A physicist and two colleagues believe that wormholes may help work out a paradox proposed by Stephen Hawking in the 1970s. The paradox involves what happens to information once it falls into a black ...

As depicted in science fiction, a wormhole is a shortcut connecting two points in spacetime. A RIKEN physicist and two collaborators have used a new spacetime geometry with a wormhole-like structure ...

While the simplest theoretical wormholes immediately collapse and disappear before anything can get through, Thorne wondered whether it might be possible for an “infinitely advanced” sci-fi ...

Black holes are usually cast as cosmic dead ends, places where matter and information vanish without a trace. A new mathematical model instead treats them as potential junctions, suggesting that under ...

Black holes really are giant fuzzballs, a new study says. The study attempts to put to rest the debate over Stephen Hawking's famous information paradox, the problem created by Hawking's conclusion ...
