Existing and future gravitational-wave detectors will observe signals so precisely that they will be able to detect possible deviations from Einstein’s theory of relativity and the standard model of particle physics. To fully exploit this unique instrumental capability, fundamental advances are needed in the theoretical description of black holes...
The ESA space telescope has released unprecedented images of the universe and is paving new paths for the study of dark matter and dark energy. Trieste is at the center of cosmological research with the crucial contribution of SISSA.
A new study, published in Physical Review Letters, examines a common aspect of the innermost region of various spacetime models describing black holes, suggesting that our understanding of these enigmatic objects may require further investigation...
