The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole.

String theory unifies all the forces of nature. Forces that seem very different, such as gravity and electricity, are deeply ...

One day, a mind-bending device called the gravity telescope might bring us visceral pictures of exoplanets far beyond our solar system. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered ...

In this video, we explore Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, focusing on his insights into gravity and ...

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity—which explains gravity as the product of the distortion of space and time—may not be universally applicable. This is the conclusion of physicists from ...

Recent advancements in observational techniques have led to the capture of high-resolution images of black hole shadows, ...

General Relativity, Einstein’s revolutionary theory of gravity, reinterprets gravitational interactions as phenomena emerging from the curvature of spacetime rather than as forces in the traditional ...

Scientists from UT Austin once traveled to the Sahara Desert to observe a rare eclipse and used computers to model ripples in space and time unleashed by the mergers of black holes A team from the ...

Since 1915 when Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity, scientists have worked on testing its limits, and with the results of this 16-year test, it still holds up. Professor ...
