One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or rather, the shortage thereof—in the now 6,000+ exoplanets confirmed to date.

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 ...
