The concept of spacetime, first described in Einstein's theory of general relativity, has since been widely studied by many ...

A new citizen science project invites the public to scan never-before-seen images from the Euclid Space Telescope in search ...

Photons emitted by extragalactic sources provide an opportunity to test quantum gravity effects that modify the speed of light in vacuum. Studying the arrival times of these cosmic messengers further ...

An illustration of heavily curved spacetime, outside the event horizon of a black hole. As you get closer and closer to the mass's location, space becomes more severely curved, eventually leading to a ...

The geometry of spacetime forms the very foundation of modern gravitational theory, where the elegant interplay between curvature and matter is described by Einstein’s field equations. In this ...

Remember that time in the Lord of the Rings lore when the dwarves of Moria dug too greedily and too deep, unearthing the Balrog, an ancient horror not meant to roam free in the modern age? Cosmic ...

All the world’s a stage,” Shakespeare wrote, and physicists tend to think that way, too. Their stage happens to be space itself, and to them, space sometimes seems like a mere backdrop to the action ...

A scientist studying crystal structures has developed a new mathematical formula that may solve a decades-old problem in understanding spacetime, the fabric of the universe proposed in Einstein's ...

For decades, physicists searched in vain for evidence of gravitational waves, the stretches and squeezes in spacetime that were first predicted by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity a ...

The connection between quantum physics and the theory of relativity is extremely hard to study. But now, scientists have set up a model system, which can help: Quantum particles can be tuned in such a ...
