During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String theory has not, however, fulfilled expectations. That is why we are of the ...

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity is a landmark in our understanding of the universe. It gave rise to the notion of a spacetime continuum against which all physical phenomena play out.

Spacetime is often described as the stage on which the universe unfolds, a four-dimensional blend of space and time that bends, stretches and shifts as matter and energy move through it. However, ...

A team of scientists from School of Physics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University of London has developed a novel artificial intelligence method that could revolutionize our understanding of the ...

According to Einstein’s general relativity, nothing is ever seen crossing a black hole’s event horizon. From the outside, objects appear to slow down, redshift, and freeze in time before fading away.

Rochester Institute of Technology professors have developed a faster, more accurate way to assess gravitational wave signals and infer the astronomical sources that made them. Their method directly ...
