Gravity, the force that attracts objects toward each other, is currently framed by Albert Einstein's theory of general ...

Einstein's theory of gravity — general relativity — has been very successful for more than a century. However, it has theoretical shortcomings. This is not surprising: the theory predicts its own ...

A "New Theory of Everything" aims to advance and improve our understanding of gravity beyond what we know from Einstein's Theory of Relativity. For years, scientists have tried to combine gravity with ...

Ever since Einstein: nothing is faster than light. In 2011, an experiment at CERN seemed to prove the opposite - until the ...

A peer-reviewed paper published in The European Physical Journal C presents a modification to Einstein’s general relativity that eliminates the singularities associated with the Big Bang and Big ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

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 ...

In October 2015, a young mathematician named Clemens Sämann was flying home to Austria from a conference in Turin, Italy, when he had a chance encounter. He found himself seated beside Michael ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

Sophia Varughese has two passions: astrophysics and music. Her senior thesis is a scholarly look at black holes and ...
