From Newton’s falling apple to Einstein’s curved spacetime, our understanding of gravity has come a long way, yet this ...

When LIGO detected gravitational waves unleashed from two colliding black holes for the first time in science history, it set ...

A decade ago, scientists first detected ripples in the fabric of space-time, called gravitational waves, from the collision ...

Today, let's talk about something mysterious and really cool — the ideas that old man Einstein came up with over a hundred years ago are now actually becoming visible! Isn't that strange?

The fabric of space and time is not exempt from the effects of gravity. Plop in a mass and space-time curves around it, not dissimilar to what happens when you put a bowling ball on a trampoline. This ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Image of the galaxy NGC 6505: the Einstein ring created by this gravitational lens can be seen in ...

“Using newer mathematical tools, my colleague and I have demonstrated a new theory that may accurately describe the universe.

Astronomers have seen something they did not expect: an Einstein Cross with not just the standard four images, there was an extra one. This unprecedented present might allow astronomers to better ...

"GW250114 is the loudest gravitational wave event we have detected to date; it was like a whisper becoming a shout." ...

In the 1900s, Albert Einstein unified the concepts of space and time, giving us a useful new way to picture the universe. At the start of the 20th century, physicists had a problem: The speed of light ...

The geometry of spacetime forms the very foundation of modern gravitational theory, where the elegant interplay between curvature and matter is described by Einstein’s field equations. In this ...

A massive galaxy has created a rare distortion in the path of light that has traveled billions of years to reach us from a more distant galaxy. It's called an Einstein cross – when the curvature of ...
