The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is celebrating 10 years of cutting-edge gravitational wave science by confirming predictions made by physics luminaries Albert Einstein, ...
Studying black holes is immensely difficult, but with gravitational wave detection, astrophysicists do have a way to directly analyze these mysterious objects. A new study details the “clearest ...
A decade ago, scientists first detected ripples in the fabric of space-time, called gravitational waves, from the collision of two black holes. Now, thanks to improved technology and a bit of luck, a ...
Two black holes in deep space. (The SXS [Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes] Project via LIGO/Caltech) (CN) — A merger of two black holes “ring” in the cosmos, producing ripples in the spacetime continuum, ...
(CNN) — Astronomers have detected a collision between two black holes in unprecedented detail, offering the clearest view yet into the nature of these cosmic oddities and confirming long-held ...

Ten years ago, astronomers made history when they first detected ripples in spacetime, called gravitational waves, from the collision of two black holes. That moment in 2015, known as GW150914, ...
Gravitational wave detections have provided yet another insight for fundamental physics, with a new detection that helps to bolster the work of both Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Scientists ...
It is therefore possible that the largest luminous bodies in the universe may be invisible -- Newton, forgive me -- One would then find oneself ... in a geometrical fairyland -- There should be a law ...
Read today's inspirational quote of the day by Stephen Hawking. Understand its meaning, learn about Hawking’s life and fame, ...
When two black holes collide and merge, they release gravitational waves. These waves can be detected by sensitive instruments on Earth, allowing scientists to determine the mass and spin of the black ...
