Scientists have evidence for a sea of ripples in space-time, called the gravitational wave background. Their experiment used dead, spinning stars to hack our galaxy and turn it into a wave detector.

The study of relativistic effects in gravitational fields remains at the forefront of physics research, refining our comprehension of space‐time and its intricate interplay with matter. Notably, ...

Approaching a black hole unleashes extreme tidal forces, stretching and tearing apart matter, including planets like Earth, a phenomenon known as spaghettification. Time also slows dramatically due to ...

We are all bobbing in a sea of ripples in space-time, called gravitational waves, reverberating through the fabric of the universe, scientists announced on Wednesday. Those ripples are probably the ...
