Should this gravitational wave even be possible?

On January 14, 2025, a pair of black holes with nearly identical masses crashed together roughly 1.2 billion light-years away ...

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

A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision—and a powerful way to test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed ...

EVANSTON, Ill. (CBS) -- A Northwestern University astrophysicist is part of an international team of scientists creating a gravitational wave detector system that will eventually be launched into ...

Decades ago physicists realized that gravitational waves are no mere passing phenomenon. Instead those ripples in space should leave behind permanent marks: a fixed distortion in their wake. So far ...

One of the most spectacular achievements in physics so far this century has been the observation of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time that result from masses accelerating in space. So far, ...

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, ...

Gravity waves are caused by air being forced up and over terrain such as the Appalachians in stable atmospheric conditions.

Scientists have named newly detected merging supermassive black holes after ’Lord of the Rings’ locations, using gravitational wave data and quasar observations to map their mergers.
