Gravitational Waves
Last week, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) teased news of an “ unprecedented discovery. ” Now, the organization has revealed that, for the first time ever, astronomers have observed both gra…
The direct detection of gravitational waves from at least five sources during the past two years offers spectacular confirmation of Einstein’s model of gravity and space-time. Modeling of these event…
Following the latest research about the space-warping bang of colliding neutron stars, merging of black holes may sound obsolete now. To determine how fast gravity swings, two teams of physicists wo…
Astronomers have uncovered a supermassive black hole that has been propelled out of the center of a distant galaxy by what could be the awesome power of gravitational waves. Though there have been se…
Using the LIGO and VIRGO space observatories, experts are researching an event in a galaxy located 130 light years away from Earth, which according to experts, could be evidence of a completely new p…
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute/AEI) in Potsdam found that hidden dimensions – as predicted by string theory – could influence gravitati…
Black holes are always hungry and apparently don’t care about good manners. Black holes destroy everything that comes in their path. A team of astronomers have spotted a massive black hole swallowing…
For the third time in a year and a half, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory has detected gravitational waves . Hypothesized by Einstein a century ago, the identification…
NASA/ESA Scientists have observed galaxy clusters moving in a way that's inconsistent with what we know about dark matter. This might suggest that we need to rethink our current models, or that a…
“Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true,” said the great Danish physicist Niels Bohr. Enter Sir Roger Penrose. Correlated noise in the two LIGO gravitational-wave detectors ma…
The most violent gravitational waves in the universe from supermassive black hole prangs will be detected to within ten years, according to research published on Monday. Gravitational waves were pred…
In the wake of recent news that astronomers finally detected the space-warping boom of colliding neutron stars, measuring the merging of black holes might seem kind of old hat. You might have moved …
Scientists are set to make a major announcement about “groundbreaking observations” relating to “an astronomical phenomenon that has never been witnessed before,” the European Southern Observatory sa…
