For the first time, scientists measured a newborn black hole that "kicked" off into space after 2 larger black holes merged together.

Science is a story of coming up with theories then doing our best to disprove them. That is especially true for theories on a ...

Hawking’s theory for the first time in history. The observations by gravitational waves reveal that black holes do in fact ...

We often marvel at the genius of Albert Einstein, a physicist who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Yet, even this formidable mind was perplexed by a grand scientific problem, one that ...

Is time something that flows — or just an illusion? Exploring space-time as either a fixed “block universe” or a dynamic fabric reveals deeper mysteries about existence, change, and the very nature of ...

Since that day, LIGO — composed of two highly sensitive laser interferometers located in Hanford, Washington and Livingston, ...

Ten years after scientists first detected gravitational waves emerging from two colliding black holes, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA ...

New research published this week confirms Stephen Hawking’s 1971 theory that the surface area of black holes never shrinks, even during a collision. An international group of scientists, ...

UMass Amherst physicists believe such an explosion could occur within the next decade, potentially "revolutionizing physics ...

Einstein’s theory of special relativity tells us that for a moving object, time passes more slowly than for a stationary ...

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made by Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
