More than a century after Albert Einstein first transformed our understanding of gravity, his general theory of relativity ...

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts that a rotating mass like the Earth pulls the fabric of space and ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Since 1915 when Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity, scientists have worked on testing its limits, and with the results of this ...

Scientists funded by the European Space Agency have measured the gravitational equivalent of a magnetic field for the first time in a laboratory. Under certain special conditions the effect is much ...

Einstein was right: artist's impression of a neutron-star merger. (Courtesy: NASA) Multimessenger observations of neutron stars have been used by astrophysicists in the US to put Einstein’s general ...

Using the MUSE instrument on ESO’s VLT , a team led by Thomas Collett from the University of Portsmouth in the UK first calculated the mass of ESO 325-G004 by measuring the movement of stars within ...

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity describes how the fabric of space and time, or spacetime, is curved in response to mass. Our sun, for example, warps space around us such that planet ...
