Typical overtone chords in the gravitational waves produced when black holes collide could be used to test general relativity, a mathematical analysis by a RIKEN physicist has shown 1. When black ...
Proposals offering alternatives to Einstein’s relativistic theory of gravitation are almost as old as the theory itself. Einstein even saw them as the beginning of a path that could lead to quantum ...
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 ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity has passed its toughest test with flying colors, a new study reports. General relativity, which Einstein proposed in 1916, holds that gravity is a consequence ...
DOES it really matter? Albert Einstein’s theory is an argument upon which the very nature of space and time — and the fate of the universe — depends. At its core, the idea is simple: Space and time — ...
Learn how researchers used Einstein’s theory of general relativity to create the most accurate simulations to date. Think of a black hole, and you might imagine a literal dark hole, but contrary to ...
On January 14, 2025, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories (LIGOs) recorded a cosmic tremor unlike any before. Named GW250114, the signal was the ‘loudest’ gravitational wave ...
In another verification of the validity of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, published in Nature Photonics, scientists from the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics and Cluster for Pioneering ...
