Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of ...

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...

General Relativity, Einstein’s revolutionary theory of gravity, reinterprets gravitational interactions as phenomena emerging from the curvature of spacetime rather than as forces in the traditional ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational ...

Mind = blown.

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 ...

An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe could be explained by modifying general relativity so that gravity has mass – or so thinks a small group of physicists. Matthew Francis reports What lies ...

For more than a century, Einstein’s relativity has set a hard speed limit for the universe, with light as the ultimate ...
