Hyde Park Labs, at 5207 S. Harper Ave. north and east of the University of Chicago campus, opened about two and a half months ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole.

It’s officially been 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves. At the time, it had been 100 years since Albert Einstein predicted gravitational waves in his “Theory of General ...

The speed of light, c, is not just a very large number. In modern physics it is a structural constant: the conversion factor ...

Stephen Hawking's and Albert Einstein’s predictions have finally been proved right after a 'black hole collision'. In January this year, astronomers spotted two black holes colliding into one another ...

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, ...

On January 14, 2025, a gravitational wave dubbed GW250114 reached Earth. Like its predecessor, GW150914, it came from a pair ...

A recently discovered black hole merger is proving correct theoretical predictions made by Albert Einstein and Stephen ...

Gravitational-wave astronomy has exploded since 2015, capturing hundreds of black hole and neutron star collisions. With ever ...

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.
