Decades ago, a renegade physicist suggested that gravity isn't so much a force as just a byproduct of the universe's tendency ...
In 1919, a total solar eclipse allowed scientists to confirm Einstein’s theory of general relativity by observing how the sun ...
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have observed a nearby ultra-diffuse galaxy designated F8D1. The new ...
"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.
One of the biggest challenges in modern physics is uniting quantum mechanics and general relativity. A new experiment may ...
Scientists propose using quantum-entangled clocks to test how gravity affects quantum mechanics in curved spacetime.
The theorists predict that the beginning of the end will be in about 10 billion years — less than the present age of the universe.
Time, as we experience it on Earth, may not be as constant as we imagine. According to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, time is not uniform across the universe; it’s actually affected by both ...
The LIGO Hanford Observatory near the Tri-Cities and its twin in Louisiana detected ripples of time and space passing through Earth from the most massive collision of black holes ever observed, a ...
Astronomers have detected the largest black hole merger ever, and it has challenged their understanding of such formations.
The Trump administration has proposed closing either the LIGO Hanford observatory in WA or its twin in Louisiana.
Two colossal black holes among the most massive ever seen collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled across the cosmos and shook the foundations of astrophysical theory.
