The big thinkers at Aperture explain relativity and how it warps the fabric of spacetime.

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

Researchers from Columbia University and Breakthrough Listen, a scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of ...

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...

At the center of the Milky Way, close to the pull of a supermassive black hole, astronomers have found a strange new radio signal that behaves like a slow, steady clock. This object is more than an ...

Ripples in space-time from a pair of merging black holes have been recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists to test predictions of general relativity ...

The second reason is simple: location, location, location! The millisecond pulsar appears to be near Sagittarius A*, the ...

Researchers believe they have found the signal of a pulsar, the ancient core of a rapidly spinning star, at the center of the Milky Way, near a supermassive black hole. This discov ...

Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for a theory that half of the people might not even have heard of. His Theory of Relativity, though world-changing, was not cited. Yet while delivering his ...

According to general relativity, gravity is the distortion of spacetime. Heavyweight cosmic entities like stars or galaxies ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...
