Mathematicians are challenging the idea that dark energy is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe. In a ...
A newly developed solution to the equations at the heart of Albert Einstein's most revolutionary theory suggests hypothetical stars called "nestars" could be made from stacked gravitational stars, or ...
The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...
Several physicists have proposed theories that try to unite quantum mechanics with Einstein’s general theory of relativity. But a new study goes one step ahead; it not only links the two theories but ...

It stands among the most famous theories ever created, but the general theory of relativity did not spring into being with a single, astonishing paper like the special theory of relativity in 1905.
