Black holes may be invisible, but their influence shapes galaxies, modern technology and humanity's understanding of its own limits.
That was the message shared last week by Priyamvada Natarajan, a theoretical astrophysicist at Yale University, during a session at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Natarajan, whose research focuses on cosmology, gravitational lensing and black hole physics, traced how decades of theoretical work on black holes have transformed scientists' understanding of the universe and quietly underpin everyday technologies.
