Gravitational tsunamis exist and we’re on the verge of being able to detect them. There are cosmic events so powerful that they leave permanent marks on the fabric of the universe itself - a permanent ...

Our neighboring planets are not exactly the most hospitable places. Humans have been talking about space colonization for quite some time, but our neighboring planets are not exactly the most ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity views time similarly to width, height, and length. As such, both time and space can be curved by gravity. This effectively means that time is slower the closer ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. A new recipe for gravity could help ...

A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity. Eleftherios-Ermis ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a point of infinite density called a singularity. To explore these ...
