Nobel Physics Prize Awarded to 3 Scientists for 'Black Hole Discovery' (Update 2)

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Junho] On the 6th (local time), the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences selected Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel, and Andrea Ghez as the Nobel Prize winners in Physics.

All of them contributed to the discovery and research of black holes. In particular, Roger Penrose, along with Stephen Hawking, has the achievement of detailing what actual black holes should look like and how they exist in the universe based on the general theory of relativity.

Genzel and Ghez were highly praised for their contributions in proving the existence of black holes. They precisely observed stars orbiting black holes through telescopes and proposed that there is an object (a black hole) at the center of the orbit with a mass 4 million times that of the sun.
