The largest map of the cosmos hints that dark energy is changing. It could prove Einstein wrong and upend a pillar of modern physics.
Astronomers have made the largest 3-D map of our universe and it could change the way we understand…

Interstellar internet may be possible if we can weaponise the gravity of massive stars, say scientists
The potential to manipulate long-range signals, such as light, is enormous, as it paves the way for…
Einstein's theory of general relativity just got 500 times harder to beat thanks to the first-ever black hole to be caught on camera
"Using the gauge we developed, we showed that the measured size of the black hole shadow in M8…
After the Big Bang, universe is running 5x slower: Scientists crack the mystery using supermassive black holes
Scientists have for the first time observed the early universe running in extreme slow motion, unlo…
Albert Einstein used to ponder these 5 mind-melting questions for fun. Can you figure them out?
Einstein's thought experiments help conceptualize complex scientific ideas for people without acade…

Black holes could be making the universe expand using cores of pure dark energy
Two scientists are suggesting that Einstein’s equations were not being used correctly all this tim…
Two dead stars are dancing around each other proving Einstein's theory right
A star that’s 1.27 times the mass of the Sun is dragging the fabric of space and time with it
Black hole image supports Einstein's theory of gravity, disappointing scientists who are probing for cracks
Researchers captured the first image of our galaxy's supermassive black hole. It could help confirm…

A black hole bigger than the sun is pulling on the fabric of space and time
Black holes are generally known for pulling in any item that crosses their path using their gravi…
A black hole warped space-time so much that astronomers saw flashes of light from its far side
Albert Einstein predicted that black holes warp space-time, and astronomers just saw the proof - fl…

Scientists detect light behind a black hole for the first time, proving Einstein's Theory
In 2017, astronomers took a giant leap by capturing the first-ever image of the darkest object i…
The most detailed map yet of all dark matter in the universe reveals cosmic voids where the laws of physics seem not to apply
By imaging 226 million galaxies, astronomers have created the largest map ever of dark matter, whic…

Scientists think they've observed a black hole swallowing a neutron star for the first time. It made ripples in space and time, as Einstein predicted.
Scott's team think the ripples in spacetime from this event, also known as gravitational waves, jus…

Astronomers found evidence for a 'dark' gravitational force that might fix Einstein's most famous theory
While general relativity says a strong source of gravity - like the sun - will warp the fabric of s…
