A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

The slower growth of gravitational wells and the accelerating expansion might share the same underlying cause.” In so many ...

Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that ...

Predicted by Einstein and dismissed as undetectable, gravitational waves were finally heard in 2016. Now, with observatories ...

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity is based on the idea that massive objects cause a distortion in space-time, which is felt as gravity ...

Correcting Einstein. Since its introduction in 1915, general relativity has been remarkably successful in explaining astrophysical and cosmological phenomena, including the formation of black ...

In a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, scientists propose a comprehensive theoretical framework indicating that gravitational wave signals from black hole mergers are more complex ...

From four-dimensional hexagons to the mind-bending amplituhedron, geometrical shapes are wilder than we learn at school - and ...

The general theory of relativity, Einstein asserted, was now complete. The month leading up to the historic announcement had been the most intellectually intense and anxiety-ridden span of his life.
