One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or ...

A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision—and a powerful way to test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed ...

Learn why only 14 out of over 6,000 exoplanets orbit two stars, and how Einstein’s general theory of relativity may be to blame.

Two researchers have found an explanation for why we find almost no exoplanets orbiting binary stars. According to them, ...

Mind = blown.

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of ...

BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire field ...

In 1905, Albert Einstein revolutionized physics by demonstrating that time is not absolute but relative to the observer's ...
