New Study Questions a Major Assumption About the Fall of the Roman Empire

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-24 01:21:14

The period after the Roman Empire abandoned Britain has long been known as the “Dark Ages” for a reason. Scholars believed that after the Romans left, local industries collapsed and effectively all progress ceased for centuries. Britain, they theorized, was plunged into a cultural and economic abyss with their departure. But for some time, a growing body of evidence has challenged this narrative. And in a new study published today in the journal Antiquity, researchers investigate the assumption

New black hole merger bolsters Hawking area theorem

So if two black holes combine, the newly formed black hole will have a larger surface area. This became known as Hawking's area theorem.
