From the fall of an apple to the glow of the farthest known star, gravity quietly choreographs almost everything that happens ...
Gravity is invisible, yet it governs the cosmos, warping spacetime and bending light. This video explores Einstein’s general ...
Scientists pushed photons across the universe to test the speed of light—and found Einstein’s cosmic speed limit still holds firm.
Their tests spanned the entire life cycle of the collision: inspiral, merger, and ringdown. Remarkably, the constraints were ...
For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational ...
In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...
The universe rarely fails to amaze. One of its latest surprises—nicknamed the “Einstein zig-zag”—reveals a stunning arrangement of galaxies and a distant quasar. Together, they produce a gravitational ...
The faster you move, the stranger time becomes. By imagining how light travels to two people moving at different speeds, Einstein showed that time isn’t absolute. His thought experiment revealed that ...
To understand gravity, Einstein had to rethink space and time as a single connected fabric. He showed that mass bends this fabric, guiding how everything moves. NOVA is available to stream on pbs.org ...
