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 ...
1.3 billion years ago, two orbiting massive black holes, circling each other at 250 times a second, collided in a violent, ...
Just as ocean waves shape our shores, ripples in space-time may have once set the Universe on an evolutionary path that led to the cosmos as we see it today. A new theory suggests gravitational waves ...
A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all. Instead, it could arise from entropy, a measure of disorder. The theory, ...
In 2023, physicists were awed to find nearly imperceptible ripples in the fabric of space and time — united as an entity known as spacetime. They were ripples discovered in association with ...
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Today, a humongous team of astronomers called the NANOGrav ...
University of Colorado Boulder astrophysicist Jeremy Darling is pursuing a new way of measuring the universe’s gravitational wave background—the constant flow of waves that churn through the cosmos, ...
The observed near flatness of galactic rotation curves has long been interpreted as evidence for large amounts of non-baryonic dark matter. Here we show that this phenom ...
Although astrophysicists theoretically should be able to detect gravitational waves from a single, non-binary source, they have yet to uncover these elusive signals. Now researchers suggest looking at ...
On May 24, scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) began an 18-month campaign to detect the most distant collisions between black holes and neutron stars ever ...
Our understanding of the universe may be completely wrong.
Iowans pointed their cameras and phones to the sky Friday morning as gravity wave clouds moved through the state. Chief Meteorologist Jason Sydejko explained the cool weather phenomenon."It looks like ...
