... in astronomy and physics - the detection of gravitational waves – ripples in the fabric of spacetime first predicted by Albert Einstein over a century ago. Scientists also discovered the nearest exoplanet to us orbiting our nearest star, Proxima...
... something else. The results above indicate that the speeds of the jets are indeed apparent and Einsteins theory still holds. The paper goes on to say, “it remains to be seen whether this is because the jet has...
... a key empirical constraint and may guide theoretical physicists to build some appropriate mathematical extension of Einstein's General Relativity." Modified gravity or MOND as it is known as, is the hypothesis of Modified Newtonian Dynamics proposed...
Aside from proving Einstein right, it appears gravitational waves could act as powerful bailiffs, as astronomers have detected a rogue black hole weighing ...
... extremely fast jets of gas that blast out from them are formed. Other goals include testing Einstein’s theory of general relativity which predicts a roughly circular “shadow” around the black hole. Simulated images of the...
... objects with very strong gravity, such as pairs of merging black holes; a phenomena that was hypothesised by Albert Einstein a century ago. ESA also announced in the same meeting that its PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars...
