A black hole can feel like the most distant and unreal object you could ever think about, yet the way its darkness bends ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity views time similarly to width, height, and length. As such, both time and space can be curved by gravity. This effectively means that time is slower the closer ...

The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole.

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense." A team of scientists has developed a recipe for ...

Pairs of black holes have been detected in the past through their gravitational effects, but until now, scientists have never ...

The entangled clocks can test how quantum theory behaves in the presence of curved space-time as predicted by Einstein, or whether our current theories break down. Hoboken, N.J., July 14, 2025 — ...

Researchers are using black hole “shadow” images to test whether Einstein’s relativity remains unshakable. With next-generation telescopes, they hope to spot telltale signs of alternative physics ...

A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity. Eleftherios-Ermis ...

Black holes are considered cosmic gluttons, from which not even light can escape. That is also why the images of black holes ...

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which originated outside our solar system, has reportedly confirmed one of Albert Einstein's ...
