Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

Alexander Grothendieck was a titan in his field, making deep connections that fuelled a revolution in mathematics, before ...

Black hole merger detected by LIGO offers the strongest proof yet of Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. The findings confirm black holes are defined by spin and mass. Their event ...

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions ...

New observations of two black holes merging have confirmed predictions made decades ago by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, ...

Einstein’s uncle Jakob was an inventor in Munich. He produced patents for arc lamps, electric meters, and dynamos in the late ...

We previously covered one such “gravity telescope” with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Another one is the Japanese project Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA).

A Hiroshima University team has designed a feasible way to detect the Unruh effect, where acceleration turns quantum vacuum ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The id ...

For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein's general relativity explains gravity as the ...
