Planets that orbit white dwarf stars should be too hot to host alien life, theories suggest. But a new study accounting for ...
BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...
Solar eclipses occasion lots of excitement and pique the public's interest in astronomical phenomena. Eclipses can also expand our understanding of the universe in profound ways. In fact, astronomical ...
For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...
Some habitable worlds orbiting dead stars could be kept alive for aeons thanks to a quirk of Einstein’s theory of gravity ...
An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...
For over a century, Einstein's general theory of relativity has been key to understanding gravity. But new research suggests this theory "glitches" in the farthest reaches of space. That doesn't mean ...
Seven Days is 30, and we need your help to celebrate. With your donation, we’ll stay on track, delivering rigorous reporting on Vermont news and culture. In 1919, astronomer Arthur Eddington used the ...
In 1963, Roy Kerr, a New Zealand-based mathematician proposed a set of equations that explain the properties of rotating black holes as per Einstein’s theory of general relativity. These equations are ...
