MIT physicist Daniel Harlow seeks to understand how our universe can abide by two incompatible rulebooks, the Standard Model of Physics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity. He is looking for answers in an alternate “boomerang” reality that represents the universe as a hologram of itself.

In the search for a theory that unites general relativity and quantum physics, many have tried to rethink space-time. But what if space-time emerges naturally, like a hologram?

Physicists have simulated strange objects from string theory to determine what they look like – if they exist, they could be mistaken for a black hole when imaged from very far away

The theorized object warps spacetime like a black hole but still releases light.

This breakthrough could lead to a better understanding of how black holes behave and how they interact with the universe around them.

Under the laws of quantum mechanics, information about what has fallen into a black hole cannot be destroyed, and now researchers claim they have figured out how it is preserved

Computer code developed by the Interstellar team could assist astrophysicists in their simulation of black holes.

The first simulation of a wormhole on a quantum computer made headlines, but a new study brings into question whether it was an accurate representation
