Sounds like math, not cosmology.

I signed on to this forum as a physics and Math help forum, did I read it wrong? Yes I would also like to know the max area on curved space?

Thread 'Illuminating Black Hole Shadows with Dark Matter Annihilation'

Abstract The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has significantly advanced our ability to study black holes, achieving unprecedented spatial resolution and revealing horizon-scale structures. Notably, these observations feature a distinctive dark shadow—primarily arising from faint jet emissions—surrounded by a bright photon ring. Anticipated upgrades of the EHT promise substantial improvements in dynamic range, enabling deeper exploration of low-background regions, particularly the inner shadow...

Thread 'What happens to information inside a blackhole'

I am 9th-grade student who's curious about blackholes and the idea that they might be connected to white holes. I read about energy conservation and wondered: if black holes don't destroy matter, could the process be linked to a white hole somehow ? I'm not claiming a theory- I just want to understand what current science says about this

Thread 'Matter density right after the decoupling'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.
