How quantum black holes explain why we don’t see the end of space and time

Raw Story  

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. Penrose postulated that all the singularities of gravitational collapse are “clothed” by the event horizons of black holes – meaning we could never observe one. Now, all known constructions of quantum black holes share this feature, suggesting a more rigorous formulation of quantum cosmic censorship exists. In our work, we …

Time is a slippery thing, as profound thinkers like physicist Albert Einstein and, well, fictional time traveller Doctor Who plainly understood. Scientists made that point anew on Monday in a study that used observations of a ferocious class of black holes called quasars to demonstrate "time dilation" in the early universe, showing how time then passed only about a fifth …
