A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all.

EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...

Just as ocean waves shape our shores, ripples in space-time may have once set the Universe on an evolutionary path that led to the cosmos as we see it today. A new theory suggests gravitational waves ...

1.3 billion years ago, two orbiting massive black holes, circling each other at 250 times a second, collided in a violent, ...

Our understanding of the universe may be completely wrong.

In 2023, physicists were awed to find nearly imperceptible ripples in the fabric of space and time — united as an entity known as spacetime. They were ripples discovered in association with ...

A new effort to map the rumblings in spacetime caused by enormous black hole collisions paints a surprisingly loud and lopsided picture of the universe. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

General Relativity, Einstein’s revolutionary theory of gravity, reinterprets gravitational interactions as phenomena emerging from the curvature of spacetime rather than as forces in the traditional ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe could be explained by modifying general relativity so that gravity has mass – or so thinks a small group of physicists. Matthew Francis reports What lies ...

Decades ago physicists realized that gravitational waves are no mere passing phenomenon. Instead those ripples in space should leave behind permanent marks: a fixed distortion in their wake. So far ...

Iowans pointed their cameras and phones to the sky Friday morning as gravity wave clouds moved through the state. Chief Meteorologist Jason Sydejko explained the cool weather phenomenon."It looks like ...
