The most extreme black hole collision ever recorded looked, at first, like it should not have happened at all. Two objects each weighing roughly as much as one hundred Suns crashed together in a ...

Spinning massive objects drag spacetime along with them. This curious phenomenon is an important prediction in general ...

A new warp-drive study proposes a novel segmented design that brings hyper-fast space travel one step closer to becoming a ...

Learn how researchers used Einstein’s theory of general relativity to create the most accurate simulations to date.

Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...

Summary: Time doesn’t flow uniformly across the solar system, and new research reveals just how differently it unfolds on Mars compared with Earth. By tracing subtle gravitational and orbital ...

On Earth, knowing the time feels simple. Your phone pings the same second as a GPS satellite and an atomic clock in a lab.

Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...

Building on decades of effort, a team of computational astrophysicists has achieved a major milestone: developing the most comprehensive model to date ...

Building on decades of effort, Lizhong Zhang, Member (2023–24) in the School of Natural Sciences; James Stone, Professor in ...

Learn how Albert Einstein’s theory reveals that time on Mars runs faster than on Earth — and why that tiny shift matters for ...

Einstein explained that gravity affects each passing second. Clocks slow down where gravity grows stronger. Clocks speed up ...
