The Einstein equations remain the cornerstone of general relativity, underpinning our understanding of how matter and energy influence spacetime curvature. Recent investigations have not only ...

If the universe were a soup, it would be more of a chunky minestrone than a silky-smooth tomato bisque. Sprinkled with matter that clumps together due to the insatiable pull of gravity, the universe ...

This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. A renewed suggestion that dark energy may not be real—dispensing with 70 percent of the stuff in the universe—has ...

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.

“Thus, the general theory of relativity as a logical edifice has finally been completed”—Albert Einstein, November 25, 1915 These words were spoken by Albert Einstein one hundred years ago, concluding ...
