A peer-reviewed paper published in The European Physical Journal C presents a modification to Einstein’s general relativity that eliminates the singularities associated with the Big Bang and Big ...
Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is actually two separate theories: his special theory of relativity, postulated in the 1905 paper, The Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies and his theory of general ...
For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the universe. For Joseph Farah, a fifth-year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara ...
Albert Einstein’s mind reinvented space and time, foretelling a universe so bizarre and grand that it has challenged the limits of human imagination. An idea born in a Swiss patent office that evolved ...
We've been through the first few episodes of our crash course on general relativity, and came out alive! But it's officially "time" for CURVED spacetime. Join Gabe on this week’s episode of PBS Space ...

Wild Experiment Reveals Quantum Objects Do Obey Gravity
An Einsteinian view of gravity, a curvature in spacetime caused by mass and energy. (ESA/C.Carreau) Quantum mechanics and ...
General relativity stands as one of the bedrock theories in modern physics. Its strange view of relative time and space has been confirmed by countless experimental and observational tests, from ...
In the hunt for extraterrestrial life, we usually look for planets orbiting sun-like stars and icy moons. But there is another possible candidate—planets circling white dwarfs, the hot, dense remnants ...
EVER since Arthur Eddington travelled to the island of Príncipe off Africa to measure starlight bending around the sun during a 1919 eclipse, evidence for Einstein’s theory of general relativity has ...
IN MARCH, a team of physicists announced that they had detected ripples in space-time produced at the universe’s birth. Their claims took the world by storm. One of my colleagues declared it the most ...
Two recently observed black hole mergers, occurring just weeks apart in late 2024, have opened an extraordinary new window into the universe’s most extreme events. These collisions not only revealed ...

'Cosmic glitch' could explain why gravity acts differently across the universe
Planck data hint that gravity could weaken slightly on the universe’s largest scales, but stronger evidence is still needed.
