A dive into the heart of black holes. Already in Newton’s time, scientists imagined “dark stars” which exerted an attraction so powerful that even light could not escape it.
Accessible to all readers interested in the major questions relating to the deep nature of space, time and matter, this work published with the newspaper Le Monde highlights the crucial issues of current cosmology.
From the way they warp space and time to the scientific paradoxes they induce, everything about black holes seems extreme. And some even whisper that they would be a secret door to other universes.
Since the first theoretical models of the 1960s, decisive progress has been made to prove their physical reality: in 2015, American astrophysicists detected the gravitational waves produced by collisions of black holes, then in 2019, for the first time, a telescopic image reveals a giant black hole surrounded by a disk of hot gas.
Let’s dive into the fascinating duality between the invisible and the visible, between shadow and light.
