Rare 'Einstein cross' warps light from one of the universe's brightest objects in this stunning image
Einstein predicted the existence of these crosses back in 1915. Now, they are used to study distant galaxies.
Da Vinci understood key aspect of gravity centuries before Einstein, lost sketches reveal
Sketches found inside Leonardo da Vinci's sketchbooks, show that he had already grasped the essence of Einstein’s 1907 ‘Equivalence Principle’ centuries before the physicist.
Scientists reveal 'invisible' galaxy from the early universe, using space-time trick predicted by Einstein
Using the ALMA telescope in Chile and Einstein's theory of relativity, scientists observed a young galaxy in the early universe that is invisible in nearly every wavelength.
Physicists want to use gravitational waves to 'see' the beginning of time
Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space. Waves that originated in the early universe could carry important information about the phenomena that occurred there.
Something is wrong with Einstein's theory of gravity
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.
China builds 'artificial moon' for gravity experiment
The test chamber will enable scientists to test technologies and structures on Earth before sending them to the moon.
'Tsunami' of gravitational waves sets record for most ever space-time ripples detected
The waves allow for vital glimpses of objects that don't produce much light.
New gravitational wave detector picks up possible signal from the beginning of time
Physicists turned on a new type of gravitational-wave sensor and saw two intriguing results, but they aren't yet ready to claim a discovery.
