About 60 years ago, the original Star Trek series featured a technology called a “warp drive,” which allowed space travel at speeds much faster than light. Theoretical physicist and philosopher Albert ...

Ten years after the first detection of gravitational waves, scientists have captured the clearest signal yet — and it confirms one of Stephen Hawking’s most famous predictions. Using the upgraded LIGO ...

This analysis presents the mathematical foundation and theoretical structure of wormholes, detailing how general relativity ...

Most explanations rely on "dark energy" to explain the Universe's accelerating expansion rate, but a new study takes a different path.

Einstein was a great thinker who made plenty of mistakes—errors that sometimes led to more meaningful discoveries in physics, ...

In Interstellar, Miller’s planet orbits close to the black hole Gargantua, where gravity is so strong that time runs much slower. This is gravitational time dilation, a prediction of Einstein’s ...

Researchers have unveiled a new model for the universe’s birth that replaces cosmic inflation with gravitational waves as the ...

Why is the universe expanding at an ever-increasing rate? This is one of the most exciting yet unresolved questions in modern ...

To answer Robertson: The Higgs field doesn’t appear to have more valleys to explore, according to our current understanding.

Star Trek's iconic warp drive, once pure science fiction, is now inspiring real-world astrophysicists. Scientists are developing theoretical models t ...

Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites continuously beam down ultra-precise timestamps, each message essentially saying, ...

The story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...
