Confirming a pulsar star would enable unprecedented tests of General Relativity. Such a discovery would revolutionize physics ...

The second reason is simple: location, location, location! The millisecond pulsar appears to be near Sagittarius A*, the ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity has been tested for the first time over distances nearly as large as the universe itself – and has, in the process, trumped most other alternative theories of ...

An analysis of more than 70,000 galaxies by University of California, Berkeley, University of Zurich and Princeton University physicists demonstrates that the universe – at least up to a distance of 3 ...

Planets that orbit white dwarf stars should be too hot to host alien life, theories suggest. But a new study accounting for Einstein's general relativity may rewrite that rule. When you purchase ...

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, which suggests that gravity is due to the curvature of space and time, is more than 100 years old. And it's holding up as researchers analyze the ...
