"The key result is that while many alternatives look very similar to the 'standard' black hole at today's image quality, the ...

Why do we call the people in our families relatives? It is because they exist relative to us and us to them. Most of the time we see ourselves as the star in our own stories and others as planets ...

Recent advancements in observational techniques have led to the capture of high-resolution images of black hole shadows, which are challenging the completeness of Einstein’s general theory of ...

Let's rewind the clock back…oh, I don't know, let's say a hundred years. It was 1917, and Einstein had just developed his ...

Physicists have demonstrated with unprecedented accuracy that the speed of light remains constant. In 1887, a landmark physics experiment was carried out by American researchers Michelson and Morley.

The black hole Gargantua is at the center of Interstellar. The 12 potentially habitable planets that can save humanity are ...

In 1887, one of the most important experiments in the history of physics took place. American scientists Michelson and Morley ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

In 2023, scientists detected the gravitational waves from a black hole collision that seemed impossible. New research finally ...

The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light ...

In 1999, Belgian physicist Chris Van Den Broeck implemented a minor alteration to Alcubierre’s concept by shrinking the ...

A Star Trek–inspired idea by Miguel Alcubierre kicked off decades of theory and experiments as scientists pursue plausible ...
