Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, an immensely important update to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, is currently our best approximation of how the universe ticks. But there are some holes ...

In 1916, Albert Einstein discovered that his theory of general relativity predicted the existence of gravitational waves — ...

One of the most powerful uses of bumblebee gravity models is to potentially explain dark energy —the phenomenon responsible for the observed accelerated expansion of the universe.

In a new study, researchers describe how gravity provided the stability needed for the universe to survive expansion during the Big Bang.

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical ...

"Whether the Universe is indeed a computational construct remains an open question, but the entropic nature of gravity provides compelling evidence that information is a fundamental component of ...

Gravity attracts all things with mass, and logically applies a decelerating force against anything that's moving directly away from it (which turns into an attracting force). The heat death of the ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been remarkably successful in describing the gravity of stars and planets, but it doesn’t seem to apply perfectly on all scales.

Melvin Vopson, an associate professor in physics at the University of Portsmouth in the UK, believes that gravity is a sign that we are living in a virtual simulation and the universe is the ...

New research by a team of European physicists could explain why the universe did not collapse immediately after the Big Bang. In a new study in Physical Review Letters, the team describe how the ...
