It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

Pulsars serve as unique astronomical laboratories for stringent tests of general relativity in strong gravitational fields, with precision timing measurements of binary pulsars constraining ...

In this Python astrophysics tutorial, I walk you through calculating the gravitational field produced by a ring of mass. Using numerical methods and Python libraries, we explore how to compute ...

The study of relativistic effects in gravitational fields remains at the forefront of physics research, refining our comprehension of space‐time and its intricate interplay with matter. Notably, ...

Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

If the recent discovery of gravitational waves emanating from the early universe holds up under scrutiny, it will illuminate a connection between gravity and quantum mechanics and perhaps, in the ...

Newtonian physics postulates gravity's action as instantaneous, implying infinite speed, contrasting with Einstein's relativity. Einstein's general relativity predicts that gravitational interactions ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. In a moment over 100 years in the making, the 2017 Nobel Prize in ...

Two projects born a century ago in the mind of Albert Einstein, and the scientific leaders behind them, won the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics for detecting gravitational waves. Rainer Weiss won one half ...

In this video from the 2017 Intel HPC Developer Conference, Dr. Joshua L. Willis from the California Institute of Technology and Dan Stanzione from TACC present: Gravitational Waves: The Role of ...
