In 2023, scientists detected the gravitational waves from a black hole collision that seemed impossible. New research finally ...

Recent advancements in observational techniques have led to the capture of high-resolution images of black hole shadows, ...

Let's rewind the clock back…oh, I don't know, let's say a hundred years. It was 1917, and Einstein had just developed his ...

Researchers are using black hole “shadow” images to test whether Einstein’s relativity remains unshakable. With next-generation telescopes, they hope to spot telltale signs of alternative physics ...

Planets orbiting dead stars known as white dwarfs might be able to remain habitable thanks to general relativity subtly altering their motion. When stars like our sun run out of fuel, they expand and ...

Black holes, regions of spacetime in which gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are intriguing and extensively ...

Physicists developed a method to test Einstein’s general relativity precisely where black hole shadow images reveal potential differences under alternative gravity theories. This simulation explores ...

Falling into a black hole means facing extreme stretching, known as spaghettification, due to immense tidal forces. While ...

The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole.

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

A mathematical investigation of galactic data suggests elusive dark matter is confined to the rules of gravity.
