Because leviathan black holes would never fit in a lab, Jeff Steinhauer and his research team created a mini one right here on Earth.<\/p>\n

When something rips physics apart, you cross over into the quantum<\/a> realm, a place inhabited by black holes, wormholes and other things that have been the stars of multiple sci-fi movies. What lives in the quantum realm either hasn\u2019t been proven to exist (yet) or behaves strangely if it does exist.<\/p>\n

Black holes often venture into that realm. With these collapsed stars \u2014 at least most of them are \u2014 being impossible to fly a spacecraft into (unless you never want to see it again), one physicist decided that the best way to get up close to them was under a literal microscope. Jeff Steinhauer wanted to know whether black holes radiate particles like the late Stephen Hawking theorized<\/a> they would. Because one of these leviathans would never fit in a lab, he and his research team created one right here on Earth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to understand how we see the Hawking radiation sound waves falling in and coming out,\u201d Steinhauer, who co-authored a study recently published in Nature Physics<\/a>,<\/em> told SYFY WIRE. \u201cThey should be very slight. Seeing this radiation from a real black hole is too weak and would be totally overpowered by other sources of radiation, which is why we want to see it in an analog system.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
