What happens when you poke a black hole?
Can a sneezing ant destroy a black hole? Regge and Wheeler set out to find out.
Noclip on! Simulated primordial black holes could dance through Sun-like stars
What might the orbit of a primordial black hole going in and out of a Sun-like star look like?
The Trouble with Black Hole Wobbles
Today’s authors show that including nonlinear modes improves the black hole ringdown model and could be very important for gravitational wave data analysis.
A universe of pancakes
Today’s classic paper predicts the formation of “cosmic pancakes” on the largest scales.
Expanding the cosmology toolbox: studying gravity on all scales
Studying gravity on cosmological scales is HARD. Today’s papers build a framework to extend the standard cosmology toolbox, which means we can keep more of our data and learn more about gravity in the process.
A Peculiar Use of AI: Predicting Cosmic Velocities with Neural Networks
When studying the Universe becomes too complicated for human brains, we turn to artificial intelligence! Check out how today’s authors used a neural network to predict motions on the Universe’s largest scales
