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 ...

Twin black hole collisions detected in 2024 have provided the sharpest-ever test of Einstein’s theory while revealing new details about how black holes form and spin.

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

Decades in the making, a space probe that delves into Albert Einstein's general theory of gravitation remains grounded on Earth, caught in its own space-time continuum of technical snags, costly ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

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 ...

Albert Einstein changed science forever with special and general relativity, redefining space, time, and gravity. Yet after ...

Mark Myers, ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery The stars in the binary-star system PSR J1141-6545 make up an eccentric pair. As they dance around each other in a rapid motion, ...

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 ...

The first image of a black hole, captured in 2019, has revealed more support for Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. The new finding has suggested his theory is now 500 times harder to ...
