Deep within the Earth, a solid metal ball spins independently of our spinning planet, like a top spinning inside a larger top, shrouded in mystery. Since its discovery by Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann in 1936, this inner core has fascinated researchers. Its motion—including its speed and direction of rotation—has been the subject of decades-long debate. … Read more

The detailed mechanisms of how matter from beyond the event horizon falls into a black hole have been revealed in a new paper. As predicted by Einstein’s theory of gravity, there is a point at which material stops circling the black hole and falls straight down, suddenly plunging beyond the point of no return. Now … Read more
