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

Ripples in space-time from a pair of merging black holes have been recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists to test predictions of general relativity ...

Gravity used to be the most dependable rule in the cosmic rulebook, the quiet background force that never changed its mind.

The sharpest black hole collision ever detected just gave Einstein another win—and raised hopes that the next one might ...

From the fall of an apple to the glow of the farthest known star, gravity quietly choreographs almost everything that happens in the cosmos. It shapes planets and people, bends light into celestial ...

Einstein’s theory of gravity — general relativity — has been very successful for more than a century. However, it has theoretical shortcomings. This is not surprising: the theory predicts its own ...

The most precise test yet of one of Albert Einstein’s ideas about gravity has once again shown he was right. The finding means that physicists may need experiments that are even more accurate to ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...
