Black holes have been understood as infinite singularities for a century. In 1916, months after Einstein published general ...

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 ...

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 ...

General relativity describes gravitation as the curvature of spacetime sourced by energy and momentum. In many astrophysical and cosmological contexts, matter is idealised as a perfect fluid, whose ...

There’s a new equation floating around the world of physics these days that would make Einstein proud. It’s pretty easy to remember: ER=EPR. You might suspect that to make this equation work, P must ...

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.
