A physics conference has received a report of the gravitational wave from the heaviest pair of black holes we’ve so far ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015 ...

L ast month, work began on the world’s first space-based gravitational wave detector. The European Space Agency and partner ...

Albert Einstein "drops the mic" on physicists a century later 07:01. A century after Albert Einstein predicted their existence, gravitational waves have finally been detected, tiny ripples in the ...

But the supermassive black holes are just one candidate for a source of the massive gravitational hum. “We found the choir, but we don’t know who’s singing in it — the pop stars are the ...

If I let the gravitational potential energy at an infinite distance be zero Joules, then: Yes, the gravitational potential energy in this way would always be negative. Don't worry.

At least, that's what things are like in theory. In practice, some things are notoriously difficult to measure. Photons and normal, stable particles both fall as expected in a gravitational field ...

“Primordial gravitational waves from inflation may lead to an appreciable contribution to the energy density of dark radiation in the early Universe, which is a prediction that can be tested in ...

That energy may have been able to energize electromagnetic fields, causing them to emit light powered by gravity alone. As far as we know, our universe kicked off a long time ago by the Big Bang .
