A new physics breakthrough shows how Einstein’s theory of general relativity continues to hold up, even for “balding” black holes.

Black holes are regions of spacetime where gravity’s pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from being dragged in and “eaten.” Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicted the existence of black holes and that, no matter what such an object “eats,” black holes are characterized only by their mass, spin and …
