For more than 100 years, physicists have known — at least on paper — that spinning black holes should stir the universe ...

Astronomers have detected spacetime itself being dragged and twisted by a spinning black hole for the first time. The ...

A violent stellar disruption recorded in 2024 has given astronomers their most comprehensive evidence yet of a black hole ...

Astronomers have finally captured a black hole twisting the very fabric of spacetime. This phenomenon, known as ...

Astronomers have observed a star wobbling in its orbit around a ravenous supermassive black hole that is ripping it apart and ...

Scientists detect a 20-day wobble from a star-shredding black hole, confirming spacetime twisting predicted by Einstein.

A supermassive black hole was caught twisting spacetime, offering the clearest real-world evidence yet for Einstein’s ...

Spacetime isn’t something that exists; it’s a model for describing how events happen. Treating events as objects creates philosophical confusion and fuels misconceptions, such as time-travel paradoxes ...

Black holes are notoriously difficult to spot unless they are active, and one type of activity is the destruction of a star, ...

We've been through the first few episodes of our crash course on general relativity, and came out alive! But it's officially "time" for CURVED spacetime. Join Gabe on this week’s episode of PBS Space ...

Imagine if we could use strong electromagnetic fields to manipulate the local properties of spacetime—this could have important ramifications in terms of science and engineering. Electromagnetism has ...

Thinking of space and time as a liquid might help reconcile quantum mechanics and relativity. You have full access to this article via your institution. If spacetime is like a liquid — a concept some ...
