Ask Ethan: Can quantum entanglement survive a black hole?

According to Einstein's General Relativity, for every black hole that exists within the Universe, there are only three properties that go into it that matter in any way: the black hole's total mass, the black hole's net electric charge, and the black hole's intrinsic angular momentum, and that's it. It doesn't matter what type of matter went into the black hole in order to form it; all that matters is its mass, charge, and angular momentum.

Is time a fundamental part of reality? A quiet revolution in physics suggests not

Different fundamental physical theories treat time incompatibly, causing time to stretch, slow, or even disappear when those frameworks are combined.

We still don't know how "hot" the hot Big Bang was

This tremendously successful theory gave us everything from gravitational waves to black holes based on one profound insight: that the fabric of spacetime itself would evolve, curve, and even ripple based on the properties and behavior of the matter and energy within it. When we applied Einstein's equations to the entire Universe as a whole, along with the idea that the Universe was filled nearly uniformly with matter and energy on the largest scales, we wound up with an expanding Universe.
