Space and time seem like two completely different ideas, but Einstein showed they are interlinked in what is known as ...

Black holes just got a lot more intriguing. According to new research, some black holes found in the universe may be kinks in space-time, tangles of light that aren't actually black holes, but instead ...

Whether space-time exists should be neither controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of "space-time," "events" and "instants." The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

Most of today’s leading theoretical physicists have a shared perspective about what the next revolution in physics will look like. They think reconciling Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity ...

Researchers suggest that tiny wormholes could be punching microscopic holes through the fabric of space-time, Live Science reports, thereby driving the accelerating expansion of the universe. For ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) has approved the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, the first scientific endeavour to detect and study cosmic ripples from space. The launch of LISA is ...

New simulations show that dying stars release enormous "cocoons" of gas that may rattle with space-time ripples called gravitational waves. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

John von Neumann came about as close as humanly possible to embodying the Platonic ideal of a genius. Conversant in ancient Greek by age 6, the Hungarian made significant mathematical advances in his ...

Scientists have observed for the first time the faint ripples caused by the motion of black holes that are gently stretching and squeezing everything in the universe. They reported Wednesday that they ...
