Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for a theory that half of the people might not even have heard of. His Theory of ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational ...

The sharpest black hole collision ever detected just gave Einstein another win—and raised hopes that the next one might ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, an immensely important update to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, is currently our best approximation ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision—and a powerful way to test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed ...

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 ...

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

The team examined the remnant black hole’s “Kerr nature”, the mathematical description of a rotating black hole in general relativity. By analyzing the dominant quadrupolar mode and its overtone, they ...
