The physics of no return: What actually happens if you get pulled into a black hole
In 1916, only a year after Albert Einstein had published his general theory of relativity, Karl Schwarzschild used mathematical calculations to show this: If sufficient mass could be placed into an ...
For over a century, scientists have been intrigued to decode the perplexing scenery behind contemporary physics. It's been up for many years, and yet the experts still have no idea how to bridge the ...
Einstein was right: artist's impression of a neutron-star merger. (Courtesy: NASA) Multimessenger observations of neutron stars have been used by astrophysicists in the US to put Einstein’s general ...
For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...
First Measured Momentum Of Entangled Atoms Proves Theory That Particles Can Be In Two Places At Once
The results are just what theory predicts, but when the theory clashes as strongly with everyday experience as this, ...

New warp drive model drops exotic matter, keeps physics intact
What makes the newest warp-drive proposal notable is not speed, but restraint. For three decades, the standard obstacle in ...
Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...
A millimeter might not seem like much. But even a distance that small can alter the flow of time. “This is fantastic,” says theoretical physicist Marianna Safronova of the University of Delaware in ...
One of the biggest problems with physics is that, apart from a few mysteries we cannot adequately explain, the things we do understand work extremely well. Too well, in fact, for our comfort. Almost ...
New impressions A visualization of a curved space–time “sea” from the general-relativity simulations carried out by the authors.(Courtesy: James Mertens) From the Genesis story in the Old Testament to ...
