In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of physicists led by Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia ...

Two recently observed black hole mergers, occurring just weeks apart in late 2024, have opened an extraordinary new window ...

In the 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves, we have detected hundreds of these waves produced by the ...

For the first time, scientists have detected two black hole mergers with spins so unusual they may reveal a new generation of ...

Theoretical physicist Alex Lupsasca is pushing for a space telescope to glimpse the thin ring of light that is thought to surround every black hole.

Einstein was right: artist's impression of a neutron-star merger. (Courtesy: NASA) Multimessenger observations of neutron stars have been used by astrophysicists in the US to put Einstein’s general ...

Explore the complex challenges of quantum gravity in this video, examining the evolution of gravity models and the necessity ...

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...

In 1915, Einstein proposed that gravity actually distorts the fabric of space. His calculations perfectly explained certain astronomical observations that Newtonian physics could not account for – ...

New strategies may soon allow scientists to test dark energy theories within our own solar system, linking cosmic-scale physics to local observation. Science advances through a cycle of proposing ...

Sometimes the biggest puzzle in physics seems like the worst relationship in the universe. Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two best theories in physics, but they have never been able ...
