Anyone who loves physics knows about String Theory. If, by some miraculous chance, you've never heard of it before…well, prepare to be introduced to one of the most interesting and highly contest…
Impossibly dense, deep, and powerful, black holes reveal the limits of physics. Nothing can escape one, not even light. Even though black holes excite the imagination like few other concepts in scien…
In the name of science, former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly shoved himself into the top of a rocket, accelerated to 17,500 mph, and fell around Earth for 340 days — nearly an entire year. The lack of…
It was only in the last few years that we could fully grasp how many other planets there might be beyond our solar system. Some 64 million miles or 104 kilometers from Earth, the Kepler Space Telesco…
What if the time part of the space- time continuum equation was literally running out? Perhaps evidence suggests that time is slowly disappearing from our universe, and will one day vanish completely…
What happens to a black hole when it collides with another black hole? This new model shows you closely. The question of just what could possibly happen when two black holes come across at a very ver…
The three-body arrangement is researchers’ best chance yet to learn a violation of a key idea in Albert Einstein’s theory of General Relativity: the strong equivalence principle, which says that that…
Say our universe is a bubble. And there’s another universe in another bubble. Researchers have simulated what it would look like if the two bubbles bumped against each other, and their work could rev…
The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, a few days ago, decided to once again solve the problem of "what actually is a planet?" The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics held…
Theoretical physicists and cosmologists deal with the biggest questions, like “Why are we here?” “When did the universe begin?” and “How?” Another questions that bugs them, and likely has bugged you…
A massive X-shaped structure made of stars was spotted at the heart of the Milky Way, which could give scientists new insight into how the galaxy was formed. X MARKS THE SPOT A tweet posted by astron…
KIC 8462852 is at it again with its old shenanigans, and humanity remains clueless as to what might be causing the changes in light emitted from the star. The new dips in light are the deepest observ…
The University of Texas’ research team has discovered that the formation of the moon’s crust composed by one mineral could not be explained by the initial crust formation and must have been a result…
