Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity predicted that black holes would form and eventually collide. It also predicted the creation of gravitational waves from the collision. But how often does this happen, and can we calculate how many stars this will happen to?
Nearly a century after its founding, physicists and philosophers still don’t know—but they’re working on it
Some astronomers didn’t like the religious implications of a universe with a beginning. Their alternative was the so-called “steady state model.”
The new research may have dramatic implications for galaxy formation.
Einstein’s equations have held up remarkably well for over a century. But they leave tantalizing gaps in our knowledge.
Some scientists have been poking at the foundations of dark energy, but many say the concept remains on solid, if mysterious, ground.
Albert Einstein, the most genius physicist of the 20th Century, had his way of thinking, he believed in nature as a powerful force
This essay by Abubakar Farooqui aims to conceptualise the transformation in Physics from Newton’s space and time to Einstiein’s space-time continuum.
In the center of a black hole is a ‘gravitational singularity’, a one-dimensional point which contains a huge mass in an infinitely small space where density and gravity become infinite and space-time curves infinitely, and where laws of physics as we know them cease to operate.
Unification was Einstein’s dream and is therefore at least a 100 year old struggle. The past four decades have been in pursuit of string theory
