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

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

LIGO's GW250114 signal tests Einstein's relativity, revealing black hole properties and confirming key theorems in ...

The loudest black hole collision ever recorded has just given Einstein’s theory of general relativity its hardest test so far. The event, dubbed GW250114, produced a record-smashing signal-to-noise ...

Researchers believe they have found the signal of a pulsar, the ancient core of a rapidly spinning star, at the center of the Milky Way, near a supermassive black hole. This discov ...

The second reason is simple: location, location, location! The millisecond pulsar appears to be near Sagittarius A*, the ...

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 ...

Humans have been studying total solar eclipses for millennia to better understand the cosmos. Total eclipses have helped prove Einstein's theory of relativity and led to the discovery of helium. Here ...

Researchers from Columbia University and Breakthrough Listen, a scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of ...

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 ...

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire field ...
