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

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational ...

Solar eclipses occasion lots of excitement and pique the public's interest in astronomical phenomena. Eclipses can also expand our understanding of the universe in profound ways. In fact, astronomical ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

GENEVA - A pillar of physics - that nothing can go faster than the speed of light - appears to be smashed by an oddball subatomic particle that has apparently made a giant end run around Albert ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Research teams on both sides of the Atlantic have shown that precise modeling of the universe and its contents will change the detailed understanding of the evolution of the universe and the growth of ...

The reconciliation of general relativity and quantum mechanics is one of the biggest challenges in science, one that continues to elude us. Now, a new study by Anjun Chu and colleagues has examined ...

Two researchers have found an explanation for why we find almost no exoplanets orbiting binary stars. According to them, ...

Nonlocality is a phenomenon that has gained a lot of attention within the physics community over the past few decades. In what Einstein described as “spooky action at a distance,” the implications of ...

“The chief attraction of the theory lies in its logical completeness,” wrote Albert Einstein after publishing his general theory of relativity in 1915. “If a single one of the conclusions drawn from ...
