This is the first time that disk-jet co-precession has been clearly observed in a black hole system, which is truly exciting, ...
The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...
A century after Albert Einstein sketched out his radical picture of gravity, astronomers have now watched a black hole ...
Astronomers have seen spacetime itself wobble near a spinning black hole for the first time. The discovery, revealed during a star’s destruction, confirms a major prediction of Einstein’s theory of ...
Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...
Spacetime itself would also need to be “quantized,” or broken down into constituent parts. This is what the notorious string theory attempts to do, as does loop quantum gravity, currently considered a ...
Imagine if we could use strong electromagnetic fields to manipulate the local properties of spacetime—this could have important ramifications in terms of science and engineering. Electromagnetism has ...
