Albert Einstein, everyone’s favorite wild-haired genius with a mischievous grin, is more than just a pop culture icon whose legend lives on today. He’s arguably the most influential scientist of the ...

Albert Einstein is famous for his contributions to physics, even predicting this strange and fascinating gravitational effect, now visible to modern scientists.

A team of physicists led by Mir Faizal argues the universe cannot be simulated, saying reality includes non-computable truths beyond any algorithm or AI model ...

Wormholes, conceptual tunnels slicing through spacetime, offer a theoretical shortcut between two distant cosmic points.

For the first time, scientists have detected two black hole mergers with spins so unusual they may reveal a new generation of ...

Twin black hole collisions detected in 2024 have provided the sharpest-ever test of Einstein’s theory while revealing new details about how black holes form and spin.

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the ...

Researchers have unveiled a new model for the universe’s birth that replaces cosmic inflation with gravitational waves as the driving force behind creation. Their simulations show that gravity and ...

Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be changing over time. Dark energy, the mysterious force causing the universe to ...

Einstein was a great thinker who made plenty of mistakes—errors that sometimes led to more meaningful discoveries in physics, ...

Two recently observed black hole mergers, occurring just weeks apart in late 2024, have opened an extraordinary new window ...

The universe rarely fails to amaze. One of its latest surprises—nicknamed the “Einstein zig-zag”—reveals a stunning arrangement of galaxies and a distant quasar. Together, they produce a gravitational ...
