Modern physics relies on "Dark Energy," "Dark Matter," and over 20 arbitrary tuning parameters to explain the universe. A comprehensive AI-driven audit performed by Gemini Pro on 20 technical papers ...

You might think galaxies can’t ever find each other in our runaway cosmos, but it turns out gravity can sometimes overcome ...

The two pillars of modern physics, quantum theory and Einstein’s theory of general relativity, seem incompatible with each other. For those pillars to align, gravity would have to obey quantum physics ...

At the Wits Digital Dome, Sjava reflects on 10 years of music by placing himself not above but among the stars that shaped ...

The sharpest black hole collision ever detected just gave Einstein another win—and raised hopes that the next one might ...

If you love planets, this is the month for you! At the start of February, Jupiter is the most brilliant planet on view, high ...

We know that Einstein’s general relativity is, strictly speaking, wrong. That’s because it doesn’t account for quantum effects despite the fact that those e ...

One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or rather, the shortage thereof—in the now 6,000+ exoplanets confirmed to date.

The team examined the remnant black hole’s “Kerr nature”, the mathematical description of a rotating black hole in general relativity. By analyzing the dominant quadrupolar mode and its overtone, they ...

In theory, hundreds of circumbinary planets should have been detected by missions such as NASA’s Kepler and TESS space ...

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.
