A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

The loudest black hole collision ever recorded has just given Einstein’s theory of general relativity its hardest test so far. The event, dubbed GW250114, produced a record-smashing signal-to-noise ...

Researchers believe they have found the signal of a pulsar, the ancient core of a rapidly spinning star, at the center of the Milky Way, near a supermassive black hole. This discov ...

Researchers from Columbia University and Breakthrough Listen, a scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

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 ...

First of all, the prevailing quantum theory, quantum field theory, is fully relativistic from the onset. Relativity is “built into” the theory, so to speak. And it’s the only quantum theory that is ...

Learn why only 14 out of over 6,000 exoplanets orbit two stars, and how Einstein’s general theory of relativity may be to blame.

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire field ...
