摘要
Are higher-dimensional black holes uniquely determined by their mass and spin? Do non-spherical black holes exist in higher dimensions? This essay explains how the answers to these questions have been supplied by the discovery of a new five-dimensional black hole solution. The existence of this solution implies that five-dimensional black holes exhibit much richer dynamics than their four-dimensional counterparts.
