Major quantum gravity breakthrough could spark a new ‘theory of everything’

From colliding galaxies to supermassive black holes, we take a look at some of the strangest sights in the universe

Get sucked into an astronomical mystery as we get in a spin with the universe’s heaviest objects.

Ten years ago, on 14 September 2015, a new window on the Universe was opened, giving us a novel way of studying exotic, high-energy objects such as black holes and neutron stars: the first direct dete

The nature of time is one of the most profound and longstanding problems in physics – one that no one can agree on. From our perspective, time seems to steadily progress forward with each tick of the

A supermassive black hole has been discovered that formed when the Universe was just 3 per cent of its current age – around 500 million years after the Big Bang, or 13.3 billion years ago. Found in th
