General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...
A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...
New research suggests Einstein's general relativity explains the rarity of planets orbiting two suns. In tight binary systems ...
The sharpest black hole collision ever detected just gave Einstein another win—and raised hopes that the next one might ...
A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision—and a powerful way to test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed ...
Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...
Planets that orbit white dwarf stars should be too hot to host alien life, theories suggest. But a new study accounting for Einstein's general relativity may rewrite that rule. When you purchase ...
