The Latest Breaking News from Stephen Hawking

10 years ago, gravitational waves changed astronomy. A new discovery shows there’s more to come

Ten years ago, scientists heard the universe rumble for the first time. That first discovery of gravitational waves proved a key prediction from Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity and began a new era of astronomy.

Crashing black holes validate Stephen Hawking – new research

Black holes may be the fiercest objects in the universe, yet we still know very little about them. It has only been a decade since we confirmed their existence by detecting gravitational waves: ripples in the fabric of spacetime.

Scientists use Stephen Hawking theory to propose 'black hole morsels' — strange, compact objects that could reveal new physics

Violent black hole collisions may create black hole 'morsels' no larger than an asteroid — and these bizarre objects could pave the way to unlocking new physics, a study claims.

Death of the universe predicted to arrive much sooner using Stephen Hawking-inspired theory

Astrophysicists have proposed a new theoretical maximum lifespan for the universe, which suggests that dead stars are decaying much faster than previously thought. The estimate of stellar remnant decay is based on Stephen Hawking's famous black hole radiation theory.
