General relativity

As the sun slips beneath the horizon, casting its golden embrace over the Messinian Gulf, one cannot help but marvel at this bewitching region

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity

What are we to make of the strange gravitational pull that empty boxes have on cats?

The change could be far more fundamental, suggesting for instance that Einstein’s general theory of relativity could need replacing

On March 5, the audience of the next Ratio event will learn more about one of the most important physical discoveries in the last century - gravitational waves

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) astrophysicist Erotokritos Katsavounidis has been awarded the Golden Cross of the Order of the Phoenix for his contribution to the first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015.

Stephen Hawking, a scientist and a science popularizer, died at the age of 76.

"We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today," says the statement released by the scientist's family. The statement has been published early Wednesday.

The world-renowned British scientist Stephen Hawking says he knows what happened before the Big Bang and the birth of the universe, the BNR reported.

The observation of the merger of two neutron stars, which allowed for the first time to capture both gravitational and electromagnetic waves, was set for the scientific discovery of 2017 by the American journal Science.

Last week, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) teased news of an “unprecedented discovery.” Now, the organization has revealed that, for the first time ever, astronomers have observed both gravitational waves and light produced by the same event.
