2020 Nobel Prize in Physics was announced: Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez. The awards were awarded for “the darkest secret of the universe”. Three physicists shared this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics because they discovered one of the most bizarre phenomena in the universe-black holes.
Naijatechnews learned that Roger Penrose discovered that general relativity can predict the formation of black holes. Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez discovered that an invisible and extremely heavy object controls the orbit of a star in the center of the Milky Way. Supermassive black holes are currently the only known explanation.
