An astrophysicist proposes sending a tiny, laser-propelled spacecraft to study a nearby black hole within the next century, contingent on future technological advances and the discovery of a sufficiently close black hole, potentially within 25 light-years of Earth.
A new proposal suggests that miniature, laser-propelled spacecraft could travel to a nearby black hole within 60-75 years to test Einstein's theory of general relativity and investigate the existence of event horizons, potentially advancing our understanding of black holes and fundamental physics within the next few decades.
An astrophysicist has proposed a speculative plan for a real interstellar mission to a nearby black hole using a tiny, durable probe called a nanocraft, which could provide valuable data about black holes and test theories of physics, though the mission faces significant technological and temporal challenges.
