The strange sight is actually two galaxies, with the light of the second warped around the one at the front as a result of ...

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics have published the cosmological results of the first ...

The latest observations of a survey of millions of galaxies indicate that dark energy, which drives the universe's expansion, ...

For decades, astronomers have relied on Einstein’s theory of relativity to explain the expansion of the universe, assuming ...

A new map of cosmic expansion suggests that dark energy evolves over time, hinting that the universe doesn’t work the way we ...

March 14 is often celebrated at Pi Day, but it's also the birthday of one of our greatest scientists whose work impacts us ...

Expanding his special theory, Einstein’s general theory of relativity states that what we perceive as the force of gravity between two masses actually arises from their warping of space and time.

Einstein proposed that gravity ... to help us understand the concept a little easier (hopefully). The gravitational constant, as we saw above, is a proportionality constant that is an empirical ...

A new perspective on gravity emerges from the work of Ginestra Bianconi, professor of applied mathematics at Queen Mary University of London. Her study, published in Physical Review D, proposes ...

Then, there's the fact that Einstein's theory of gravity won't "play nice" with quantum physics ... It predicts the emergence ...
