BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...

Astronomers have detected strange "wobbles" in the light curve of a super bright supernova, hinting that a magnetar was born ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

Astronomers have identified the birth of a magnetar, a hyper-magnetized neutron star, by detecting a subtle warping of space-time predicted by Einstein’s general relativity. The discovery came from ...

Researchers report superluminous supernova SN 2024afav whose erratic behavior supports a long-standing theory of stellar ...

Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

The light did not fade the way it was supposed to. After blazing into view about a billion light-years from Earth, the ...

The discovery of a newborn magnetar inside a distant supernova helps explain why some stellar explosions shine far brighter ...

Astronomers have identified the first clear evidence of a magnetar forming during a superluminous supernova, offering new insight into some of the brightest explosions in the universe.

The findings confirm a theory first proposed 16 years ago by University of California, Berkeley theoretical astrophysicist ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our ...

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”. However, Lorentz invariance – the theory that the same rules of physics apply ...
