A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...

A century ago, Albert Einstein became famous. Sure, he was already well-known among physicists. But the world at large learned his name only after November 1919, when news broke that his theory of ...

A prediction made by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity has come true as astrophysicists have detected light coming from behind a black hole. A team of scientists made the analysis ...

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

Finally, scientists have their finger on the pulse. Spinning dead stars, known as pulsars, blast powerful beams of radio waves into space. As a pulsar spins, its beams sweep past Earth, producing a ...

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, which suggests that gravity is due to the curvature of space and time, is more than 100 years old. And it's holding up as researchers analyze the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A illustration shows a quantum experiment investigating gravity on a tiny scale. Scientists have determined a way to measure ...

Since 1915 when Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity, scientists have worked on testing its limits, and with the results of this 16-year test, it still holds up. Professor ...

PARIS, FRANCE - NOVEMBER 23: Specialist in the Books and Manuscript department at Christie's, Vincent Belloy poses with the Einstein-Besso manuscript written jointly by Albert Einstein and Michele ...
