How to shrink ‘moving rulers’? The strange physics behind special relativity
Albert Einstein on the blackboard. Special relativity is beyond weird. Among his many statements are that moving clocks go slow and moving rulers slow down. …
Black hole collision ‘alerts’ could alert astronomers within 30 seconds of detection
In 2015, the iconic Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory (LIGO) made the first ever tangible detection of gravitational waves. The waves were the result of two …
Does a ‘glitch’ in cosmic gravity challenge Albert Einstein’s greatest theory?
There is no denying the awesome predictive power Albert Einstein1915 Theory of gravity, general relativity – still, the theory still has inconsistencies in its effect …
NASA’s TESS exoplanet hunter may have spotted its 1st rogue planet
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) may have found its first free-floating, or “orphan,” planet. That’s a planet wandering the starless cosmos, alone. The promising …
What the World Learned From Past Eclipses
Photograph (bromide print) showing the instruments used by the British expedition launched to observe the total solar eclipse of 29 May 1919 from Sobral in …
The largest map of the cosmos suggests that dark energy is changing. He could prove Einstein wrong and throw a pillar of modern physics.
Astronomers are mapping millions of galaxies in our Universe to better understand dark energy.NASA/ESA/H. Teplitz and M. Rafelski, A. Koekemoer, R. Windhorst, and Z. Levay …
Emmy Noether confronted sexism and Nazism – over 100 years later her contributions to ring theory still influence modern mathematics
When Albert Einstein wrote Emmy Noether’s obituary in 1935, he described her as a “creative genius of mathematics” who had not received the recognition she …
James Webb Space Telescope finds dwarf galaxies have enough holes to reshape the entire early universe
Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and predicted an effect at Albert Einstein more than 100 years ago to discover that small galaxies …
