Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. General relativity states that gravity is the result of mass warping the fabric of space and ...
New Analysis of Gravitational-Wave "Dark Sirens" Reveals Tension with General RelativityHONOLULU, Feb. 13, 2026 / PRZen ...
The puzzle Einstein and Rosen were addressing was never about space travel, but about how quantum fields behave in curved spacetime. I ...
A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...
General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...
A century ago, Albert Einstein became famous. Sure, he was already well-known among physicists. But the world at large learned his name only after November 1919, when news broke that his theory of ...
An artist's visualization of the star S0-2 as it passes by the supermassive black hole at the galactic center. As the star gets closer to the supermassive black hole, it experiences a gravitational ...
Planets orbiting dead stars known as white dwarfs might be able to remain habitable thanks to general relativity subtly altering their motion. When stars like our sun run out of fuel, they expand and ...
