Is Interstellar Travel Impossible?

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

Interstellar travel may be less “impossible” than many fear—not because space is empty, but because the interstellar medium (ISM) is survivable with...

The Holographic Universe Explained

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

Black holes forced physics to confront a startling fact: the maximum amount of quantum information inside a region scales with the region’s surface...

Quantum Gravity and the Hardest Problem in Physics | Space Time

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

The hardest problem in physics isn’t just that general relativity and quantum mechanics disagree—it’s that the usual way quantum theory is built...

Are Black Holes Actually Fuzzballs?

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

Black holes may be “fuzzballs” rather than empty, hairless regions—an idea from string theory that aims to resolve both the singularity problem and...

The Black Hole Information Paradox

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

Black holes don’t just swallow matter—they may also erase the quantum information that, by the rules of quantum mechanics, should be preserved...

Black Holes from the Dawn of Time

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

Black holes may have formed in the universe’s first moments—and if they did, some could still exist today as “primordial black holes” (PBHs). The key...

What If Dark Matter Is Just Black Holes?

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

Dark matter may not be made of black holes after all. By checking how black holes would have to be distributed—matching the dark-matter halo around...

Understanding the Uncertainty Principle with Quantum Fourier Series | Space Time

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle isn’t mainly about how badly people measure nature—it’s about what information is fundamentally extractable when...

What If (Tiny) Black Holes Are Everywhere?

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

The most striking idea in this discussion is that black holes may not be truly eternal: quantum effects could halt their evaporation at a minimum...

Building Black Holes in a Lab

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

Black holes may be impossible to build directly, but physicists can still test key black-hole ideas in the lab using “analog black...

What Happens To Quantum Information Inside A Black Hole?

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

A black hole doesn’t just swallow matter—it scrambles quantum information in a way that forces physics to choose between incompatible principles. The...

Can Black Holes Unify General Relativity & Quantum Mechanics?

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

Black holes force a direct collision between general relativity and quantum mechanics: the same quantum information seems to be both destroyed and...

Is the Moon in Majora’s Mask a Black Hole?

PBS Space Time · 3 min read

“Majora’s Mask” moon isn’t a moon at all—it’s a super-dense rocky shell wrapped around a miniature black hole. The claim hinges on a physics mistake...

Do Black Holes Exist? Some Physicists Don’t Think So

Sabine Hossenfelder · 3 min read

The strongest takeaway is that “black holes don’t exist” claims mostly hinge on misunderstandings of what black holes mean in general relativity—and...
