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 ...

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 ...

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.

The gravitational waves from this merger reveal that a 34 solar mass black hole merged with a 32 solar mass black hole, producing a 63 solar mass black hole, about the size of Long Island, spinning at ...
