Black holes: Not endings, but beginnings?

Recent studies have the potential to revolutionise the way we comprehend the universe.

Our understanding of black holes, time, and the mysterious dark energy that dominates the universe could be revolutionised, as new University of Sheffield research helps unravel the mysteries of the cosmos.

New research suggests black holes may transition into 'white holes', ejecting matter and potentially even time back into the universe, defying our current understanding of these cosmic giants.

The study proposes a revolutionary link between time and dark energy, suggesting that the mysterious force driving the universe's expansion may be used to measure time.

Black holes areas of space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape - have long been objects of fascination, with individuals dedicating their lives to revealing their secrets. This fascination with the unknown has inspired numerous writers and filmmakers.

According to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, anyone trapped inside a black hole would fall towards its centre and be destroyed by immense gravitational forces. This centre, known as a singularity, is the point where the matter of a giant star, which is believed to have collapsed to form the black hole, is crushed down into an infinitesimally tiny point.
