Cosmic reversal: Black holes can merge with each other, but a split seemed to be excluded. New theoretical analyses now show under which special conditions a black hole could form smaller offshoots, at least from a thermodynamic point of view. The decisive factor is an extreme rotation, additional space dimensions or changed gravitational laws. Whether such a division can actually take place remains open. Naples (Italy). The fact that black hole…
