A new theory proposes that black holes can exist in balanced pairs, appearing as one due to a force called the ‘cosmological constant’. This force,…
Through analyzing data from nearly 11,500 active galactic nuclei, researchers discovered a consistent relationship between black hole mass and stellar mass across different galaxy types.…
