The big bang wasn’t the start of everything, but it has been impossible to see what came before. Now a new kind of cosmology is lifting the veil on the beginning of time ...

This year, ASC26 has attracted more than 300 student teams from universities and colleges across Chinese mainland, the United ...

Ripples in space-time from a pair of merging black holes have been recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists to test predictions of general relativity ...

On January 14, 2025, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories (LIGOs) recorded a cosmic tremor unlike any before. Named GW250114, the signal was the ‘loudest’ gravitational wave ...

Negative energy may not be the showstopper it might be the geometry. That’s the bottom line from the latest warp‑drive study by Harold “Sonny” White, which trades the iconic smooth warp ring of Miguel ...

A new warp-drive study proposes a novel segmented design that could sidestep many of the problems in the original decades-old concept, bringing the possibility of hyper-fast space travel one step ...

What if the Big Bang wasn’t truly the beginning? A team of cosmologists is using the power of supercomputers to push past the limits of Einstein’s equations and explore mysteries once thought ...

A new review argues that modern numerical relativity can push cosmology past its usual shortcuts and test ideas about what, if anything, came before the Big Bang. The approach is simple to state and ...
