You missed it! It was right there in the Town Topics [“Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Inspires a Chamber Music Piece,” January 28, page 5]. The night of Music to Fight Hunger was at the Unitarian ...

One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or ...

Why is it so rare to find exoplanets orbiting two stars, also called circumbinary planets (CBPs)? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysica | Space ...

Their tests spanned the entire life cycle of the collision: inspiral, merger, and ringdown. Remarkably, the constraints were ...

In theory, hundreds of circumbinary planets should have been detected by missions such as NASA’s Kepler and TESS space ...

Scientists may have just uncovered one of the deepest hidden signals in the universe — a gravitational “background hum” ...

A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision—and a powerful way to test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed ...

Learn why only 14 out of over 6,000 exoplanets orbit two stars, and how Einstein’s general theory of relativity may be to blame.

LIGO's GW250114 signal tests Einstein's relativity, revealing black hole properties and confirming key theorems in ...

Scientists pushed photons across the universe to test the speed of light—and found Einstein’s cosmic speed limit still holds firm.

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

Two researchers have found an explanation for why we find almost no exoplanets orbiting binary stars. According to them, ...
