Scientists have used theloudest gravitational wave signal ever recorded to put Albert Einstein’s century-old theory of ...

New research suggests Einstein's general relativity explains the rarity of planets orbiting two suns. In tight binary systems, relativistic effects cause orbital resonances that destabilize planets, ...

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

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

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

Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for a theory that half of the people might not even have heard of. His Theory of Relativity, though world-changing, was not cited. Yet while delivering his ...

Modern physics relies on "Dark Energy," "Dark Matter," and over 20 arbitrary tuning parameters to explain the universe. A comprehensive AI-driven audit performed by Gemini Pro on 20 technical papers ...

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

One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or rather, the shortage thereof—in the now 6,000+ exoplanets confirmed to date.

The team examined the remnant black hole’s “Kerr nature”, the mathematical description of a rotating black hole in general relativity. By analyzing the dominant quadrupolar mode and its overtone, they ...

In theory, hundreds of circumbinary planets should have been detected by missions such as NASA’s Kepler and TESS space ...

A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision—and a powerful way to test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed ...
