Black hole orbit oscillations shore up general relativity
Oscillations measured in the orbits of a pair of black holes have once again helped confirm predictions made using general relativity.
The dramatic story behind general relativity’s Nobel Prize snub
More than 100 years on after Einstein’s 1921 Nobel Prize, some confusion remains around the committee’s reasons for omitting relativity.
New theory suggests gravity is not a fundamental force
A new theory proposes gravity isn’t a fundamental force but emerges from quantum electromagnetic interactions, potentially reshaping our view of spacetime itself.
New machine learning tool could transform how we study neutron star mergers
A new machine learning algorithm that can rapidly pinpoint the location of a neutron star merger using gravitational wave signals alone.
Exploring quantum gravity with pendulums
If experimentally proven that gravity is classical, we will have to start from the beginning in a search for a satisfactory ontological picture of the world.
Researchers replicate gravitational lensing in the lab
Lenses help researchers mimic the way massive cosmic objects bend light—bringing the elusive effects of gravitational lensing to Earth.
A theory of frozen stars challenges our understanding of black holes
Linking string theory with observations, frozen stars shed new light on black holes and the clash between quantum mechanics and relativity.
A “dark dimension” could help explain the origin of dark energy
Scientists propose that mysterious dark energy could be understood if we look at the Universe through the lens of string theory.
CERN scientists search for new physics in unusual energy patterns linked to hidden particles
Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider explore subtle energy signals to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
