Scientists Spot Ultra-Fast Pulsar Near Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole
Scientists have detected a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near the Milky Way’s central black hole. If confirmed, this rare object could act as a precise cosmic clock, helping researchers study how gravity behaves in extreme environments and offering a powerful new way to test Einstein’s theory of general relativity near a supermassive black hole.
