Scientists have used theloudest gravitational wave signal ever recorded to put Albert Einstein’s century-old theory of ...

New research suggests Einstein's general relativity explains the rarity of planets orbiting two suns. In tight binary systems, relativistic effects cause orbital resonances that destabilize planets, ...

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 ...

The second reason is simple: location, location, location! The millisecond pulsar appears to be near Sagittarius A*, the ...

Scientists reveal that time passes slightly faster on Mars due to weaker gravity. Einstein’s theory explains why humans would ...

Albert Einstein reminds us through this quote that true intelligence lies in clarity, not complexity. If you can explain an ...

You might think galaxies can’t ever find each other in our runaway cosmos, but it turns out gravity can sometimes overcome ...

The two pillars of modern physics, quantum theory and Einstein’s theory of general relativity, seem incompatible with each other. For those pillars to align, gravity would have to obey quantum physics ...

At the Wits Digital Dome, Sjava reflects on 10 years of music by placing himself not above but among the stars that shaped ...

The sharpest black hole collision ever detected just gave Einstein another win—and raised hopes that the next one might ...

One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or rather, the shortage thereof—in the now 6,000+ exoplanets confirmed to date.
