As far as odd couples go, this is one for the record books. The ripples in spacetime stirred up by two distant, merging black holes suggest that one of the pair was much bigger than the other. It’s ...

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

New measurements using gravitational lensing suggest the universe’s current expansion rate does not agree with signals from ...

Scientists using a continent-wide array of radio telescopes have made an extremely precise measurement of the curvature of space caused by the Sun’s gravity, and their technique promises a major ...

NEW YORK & STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scientists at Applied Physics, an independent group of scientists and engineers who advise companies and governments on science and technology for both ...

Test for echo: artist's impression of the merger of two neutron stars (Courtesy: LIGO) The first detection of gravitational waves in 2015 created huge excitement because it confirmed a long-standing ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...
