For more than a century, Einstein’s relativity has set a hard speed limit for the universe, with light as the ultimate ...

Mind = blown.

The big thinkers at Aperture explain relativity and how it warps the fabric of spacetime.

Scientists have confirmed, for the first time, that the very fabric of spacetime takes a "final plunge" at the edge of a black hole. The observation of this plunging region around black holes was made ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a misunderstanding of work by physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen.

A violent stellar disruption recorded in 2024 has given astronomers their most comprehensive evidence yet of a black hole twisting the very fabric of spacetime around itself. This effect is known as ...

A collapsing warp bubble like the one seen in Star Trek would set space ringing with gravitational waves. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...

The geometry of spacetime forms the very foundation of modern gravitational theory, where the elegant interplay between curvature and matter is described by Einstein’s field equations. In this ...

Lorentzian geometry forms the mathematical cornerstone of modern spacetime theory by providing a framework in which the causal structure and metric properties of the universe can be rigorously ...
