A doomed star spiraling into a supermassive black hole has given physicists one of their clearest looks yet at how gravity ...

Indie sci-fi thriller Space/Time follows scientists racing to rebuild a space-bending engine that could save or destroy ...

Astronomers have detected spacetime itself being dragged and twisted by a spinning black hole for the first time. The ...

Astronomers have finally captured a black hole twisting the very fabric of spacetime. This phenomenon, known as ...

Scientists say fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe—not particles and waves.

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths ...

A supermassive black hole was caught twisting spacetime, offering the clearest real-world evidence yet for Einstein’s ...

Oftentimes, we think of space as an endless, mostly empty vacuum, a silent backdrop where planets, stars, and galaxies play out their dance. We also think of time as something separate, a steady ...

An artist’s impression depicts the accretion disk surrounding a black hole, in which the inner region of the disk wobbles. In this context, the wobble refers to the orbit of material surrounding the ...

Spacetime itself would also need to be “quantized,” or broken down into constituent parts. This is what the notorious string theory attempts to do, as does loop quantum gravity, currently considered a ...
