The Truth About Wormholes: Einstein’s “Bridge” May Rewrite Time Itself

A newly detected X-ray transient may reveal the first direct evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole consuming a white dwarf.

A newly observed cosmic outburst is giving astronomers a rare glimpse into some of the most extreme processes in the universe.

On July 2, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope identified an extraordinarily bright X-ray source while conducting a routine survey of the sky. What immediately caught scientists’ attention was how rapidly the object’s brightness changed. Its unusual behavior distinguished it from typical high-energy sources and prompted observatories around the world to begin immediate follow-up observations.
