 Black Holes Made of Light
Black Holes Made of Light
Scientists at the University of St Andrews have used lasers to simulate a black hole in their laboratory. Professor Ulf Leonhardt and Dr Friedrich König used intense light pulses to create an artificial `event horizon' - the defining feature of a black hole known as `the point of no return'. The development may allow researchers to test Professor Stephen Hawking's theory that black holes are... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago
