In 1986 Belgian mathematician Jean Bourgain posed a seemingly simple question that continued to puzzle researchers for decades. No matter how you deform a convex shape—consider…
String Theorists Say Black Holes Are Multidimensional String ‘Supermazes’
Black Holes May Be ‘Supermazes’ of Many-Dimensional Strings Physicists think the insides of black holes may be complex mazes of tangled strings in higher dimensions By Clara Moskowitz edited by Jeanna Bryner Black holes, the densest objects in the universe, eat up anything that comes too close, even light. Is there anything left inside these…
