Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity—which explains gravity as the product of the distortion of space and time—may not be universally applicable. This is the conclusion of physicists from ...

Twin black hole collisions detected in 2024 have provided the sharpest-ever test of Einstein’s theory while revealing new details about how black holes form and spin.

Cosmic strings, high-energy remnants of the early Universe, may unlock time travel by warping space-time. These ...

On May 29, 1919, a total solar eclipse helped to prove Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. Einstein's theory suggested that gravity could bend light by curving the fabric of spacetime. To ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
