The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is celebrating 10 years of cutting-edge gravitational wave science by confirming predictions made by physics luminaries Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Roy Kerr — and potentially revealing a path toward a theory of quantum gravity. LIGO achieved this latest milestone by detecting gravitational waves, or tiny ripples in spacetime. The existence of gravitational waves …

‘Black hole morsels’: A Stephen Hawking theory could reveal strange new objects that challenge physics  Live Science Source link

In 1995, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking made several bold predictions about what life would look like in 2025. Now that we’ve reached this milestone year, it’s fascinating to evaluate which of his forecasts hit the mark and which ones missed. The brilliant cosmologist, who lived with ALS for most of his life, shared these predictions during a BBC television program called …
