To construct a warp drive, we'd need 10 times more negative energy than all of the positive energy in the universe.

Galaxies, planets, black holes: to most people, everything about our Universe sounds and feels enormous. But while it's true ...

Albert Einstein himself thought that the eponymous Einstein ring would be impossible to observe, but the Euclid telescope has ...

Einstein predicted that massive objects bend light as it passes through their gravitational field. This week, a new telescope ...

A rare Einstein ring spotted near our galaxy offers a unique chance to test Einstein’s general relativity and study the ...

A new adaptive optics technology is set to transform gravitational-wave detection, allowing LIGO and future observatories like Cosmic Explorer to reach new heights. By correcting mirror distortions, ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into ...

General relativity describes gravitation in a geometrical framework generalizing special relativity and classical mechanics. This term includes theoretical studies of gravity, experimental studies ...

On 25 November 1915, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity at the Prussian Academy of Sciences. This theory is still considered to be the most important idea in modern physics.

Scientists described for the first time the creation of regular black holes from gravitational effects and without the need ...
