General relativity stands as one of the bedrock theories in modern physics. Its strange view of relative time and space has been confirmed by countless experimental and observational tests, from ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...

A new physics paper proposes modifications to Einstein’s theory of relativity that could solve one of the biggest issues ...

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 ...

Planets that orbit white dwarf stars should be too hot to host alien life, theories suggest. But a new study accounting for Einstein's general relativity may rewrite that rule. When you purchase ...

A peer-reviewed paper published in The European Physical Journal C presents a modification to Einstein’s general relativity ...

For years, astronomers have wondered why real-life versions of Tatooine are so rare. With thousands of confirmed exoplanets and countless binary star systems in our galaxy, planets orbiting two suns ...
