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, ...

Researchers believe they have found the signal of a pulsar, the ancient core of a rapidly spinning star, at the center of the ...

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 ...

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

Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity is one of the most significant scientific advances of our time. The concept of relativity was not introduced by Einstein, but he was a major contributor with the ...

Earlier this year, physicists celebrated the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory’s (LIGO) discovery of gravitational waves — ripples in spacetime curvature — at the site of a black ...

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.

Einstein's theory of relativity reveals that gravity is a bending of space. One of the predictions of the theory is that two closely orbiting astronomical bodies will lose energy by a phenomenon ...
