Einstein’s general relativity says gravity is spacetime curvature, but what does that mean?
The General Theory of Relativity tells us gravity is not a force, gravitational fields don’t exist. Watch the video…
Gravity is what keeps you on the ground. An average person can only jump as high as 1.5 feet on Earth. But what if we had to
A striking example to bridge the gap between scientists’ imagination and illustration, is the artist Barron Storey’s attempt in the late 1980s, to bring the ideas of
Einstein’s theory of General Relativity is world famous – but it might not be the only way to explain how gravity works and how galaxies form.
Astronomers have made the most precise test ever of general relativity outside the Milky Way.
Gravity. One of the most incredible physics discoveries of the century has revealed a “cosmic fingerprint” explaining the beginning of universe.
Doomed neutron stars whirl toward their demise, creating blast of light and gravitational waves, in this stunning animation.
First light from gravitational wave source observed. Astronomers across the world photographed the event of the collision between two neutron stars, 130 million light-years away.
