Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is currently our best approximation of how the universe ticks. But there are holes.

How exactly did the universe start and how did these processes determine its formation and evolution? This is what a study ...

A research team proposes utilizing numerical relativity, a computational technique for solving Einstein's equations in high-gravity environments, to investigate the universe's origin. The approach ...

We're often told it is "unscientific" or "meaningless" to ask what happened before the Big Bang. But a new paper by FQxI ...

What if the Big Bang wasn’t truly the beginning? A team of cosmologists is using the power of supercomputers to push past the ...

The review shows how numerical relativity transforms cosmology, replacing shortcuts with full simulations of Einstein’s ...

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single ...

According to Einstein’s theory of gravity, black holes have only a small handful of distinguishing characteristics. Quantum ...

Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed ...

Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the ...

Few ideas in modern science have reshaped our understanding of reality more profoundly than space-time—the interwoven fabric ...
