The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole.

Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. General relativity states that gravity is the result of mass warping the fabric of space and ...

Black holes, regions of spacetime in which gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are intriguing and extensively ...

General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory of gravitation, remains a pillar of modern physics by describing gravity as the curvature of spacetime. Nonetheless, persistent questions—ranging from the ...

A new recipe for gravity could help solve some of the universe's greatest mysteries. It suggests that the concept of "quantum gravity" could arise from entropy, possibly solving puzzles put forth by ...

The first image of a black hole, captured in 2019, has revealed more support for Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. The new finding has suggested his theory is now 500 times harder to ...

One day, a mind-bending device called the gravity telescope might bring us visceral pictures of exoplanets far beyond our solar system. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe could be explained by modifying general relativity so that gravity has mass – or so thinks a small group of physicists. Matthew Francis reports What lies ...

Next month, Frequent Flyers Aerial Dance will take the Dairy Arts Center’s stage for the first time in two years. Valerie Morris (left) and Whitney Moore rehearse for Frequent Flyers Aerial Dance's ...
