Typical overtone chords in the gravitational waves produced when black holes collide could be used to test general relativity, a mathematical analysis by a RIKEN physicist has shown 1. When black ...

Mind = blown.

General Relativity, Einstein’s revolutionary theory of gravity, reinterprets gravitational interactions as phenomena emerging from the curvature of spacetime rather than as forces in the traditional ...

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...

Albert Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, but not for relativity—the theory that made him famous. This article ...

As internet conspiracy theories go, this one was exceptionally dumb. At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it? A ...
