'Einstein's equations need to be refined': Tweaks to general relativity could finally explain what lies at the heart of a black holeBlack hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly lies at the heart of a black hole.

Stephen Hawking's black hole radiation paradox could finally be solved — if black holes aren't what they seemNew research suggests that black holes may actually be "frozen stars," bizarre quantum objects that lack a singularity and an event horizon, potentially solving some of the biggest paradoxes in black hole physics.
