Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption event.

The fireworks coming from the supermassive black hole in the Milky Way. Scientists have discussed the power of black holes since their discovery in the 18th century, but what actually goes on in the ...
