A new theory challenges the Big Bang, suggesting the universe began with ultra-fast bursts, known as temporal singularities, ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity ...

Calabi–Yau manifolds are the six-dimensional analogous of a torus, a donut-shaped shape. While theoretical physicists are familiar with them, this is the first time that they have been linked to a ...

A Growing Mystery The discovery of the Universe’s accelerating expansion in 1998 left scientists scratching their heads, ...

Gravity is a result of that. Therefore, everything with mass — including light — curves as they pass through curved space-time. As predicted by Einstein, the first complete Einstein ring was ...

Discover how Einstein’s theory of special relativity reshaped physics by linking space, time, mass, and energy in a universe governed by the speed of light. Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of ...

Quantum ideas describe particles and fields in tiny packages, but general relativity paints gravity as smooth curves in space ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 ...

New research challenges the long-accepted notion of singularities in black holes — the point where physics allegedly breaks ...

University of Pittsburgh historian and philosopher of science, John D. Norton, argues answers lie in Einstein’s “hole argument.” Upon realizing his own argument’s error, Einstein came to emphasize a ...

Astronomers gain a greater understanding of black hole singularity. Experimental evidence for a finite core could illuminate ...

Previous studies that didn’t factor Hawking radiation into their equations have put a white dwarf’s lifespan at 10¹¹⁰⁰ years.
