Thomas Smeenk, BA, unveils a proposed conformal invariant, A = E/(hv), explored as a potential bridge between General ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

Recent advancements in observational techniques have led to the capture of high-resolution images of black hole shadows, which are challenging the completeness of Einstein’s general theory of ...

The 1919 total solar eclipse provided the first empirical test of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, specifically measuring how the Sun distorts light from background stars. General ...

Researchers are using black hole “shadow” images to test whether Einstein’s relativity remains unshakable. With next-generation telescopes, they hope to spot telltale signs of alternative physics ...

Two recently observed black hole mergers, occurring just weeks apart in late 2024, have opened an extraordinary new window into the universe’s most extreme events. These collisions not only revealed ...

The U.S. stock market continues to absorb its knocks, whether geopolitical, credit-linked or trade-induced, and sits at record highs. Any dips continue to be bought as investors bet on lower interest ...

I don’t want to sound biased about the various Universities, but I think that Ouachita Baptist University is possibly my favorite private school for music and theatre. The sounds that came out of ...

Planets orbiting dead stars known as white dwarfs might be able to remain habitable thanks to general relativity subtly altering their motion. When stars like our sun run out of fuel, they expand and ...

Astronomers have detected a collision between two black holes in unprecedented detail, offering the clearest view yet into the nature of these cosmic oddities and confirming long-held predictions made ...

Discovery joins a list of the greatest hits of the LIGO detector, which ten years ago became the first to detect gravitational waves. The songs of the cosmos, now that we can finally hear them, might ...
