Learn how researchers used Einstein’s theory of general relativity to create the most accurate simulations to date.

An artist's impression of the French National Centre for Space Studies satellite Microscope, which scientists hope will help find a gap in the general relativity theory developed by Albert Einstein ...

General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory of gravitation, remains a pillar of modern physics by describing gravity as the curvature of spacetime. Nonetheless, persistent questions—ranging from the ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our ...

Researchers used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to map how nearly 6 million galaxies cluster across 11 billion years of cosmic history. Their observations line up with what Einstein's theory ...

In a recent article published in the journal Frontiers in Physics, researcher Piotr Ogonowski proposes an innovative method to reconcile two of the most important theories of modern physics: Albert ...

Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...

In October 2015, a young mathematician named Clemens Sämann was flying home to Austria from a conference in Turin, Italy, when he had a chance encounter. He found himself seated beside Michael ...

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 ...
