Ten years after the first detection of gravitational waves, scientists have captured the clearest signal yet — and it confirms one of Stephen Hawking’s most famous predictions. Using the upgraded LIGO ...

Steven Hawking held a time travel party in 2009 for future humans, but no visitors have arrived, leaving the event as a curious experiment in physics history.

On Sept. 14, 2015, physicists attained the long-sought goal of detecting gravitational waves, the shockwaves spewed out by such cataclysmic events as the violent merger of two black holes. Now, in the ...

Studying black holes is immensely difficult, but with gravitational wave detection, astrophysicists do have a way to directly analyze these mysterious objects. A new study details the “clearest ...

Newly reported gravitational waves rang out as clear as a bell. Spotted in January, these spacetime ripples are the clearest yet discovered, cutting through the background noise better than any ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Studying black holes is immensely difficult, but with gravitational wave detection, astrophysicists do have a way to directly analyze these ...
