In a preprint titled “Can LIGO Detect Daylight Savings Time?,” Reed Essick, former LIGO member and now a physicist at the ...

LIGO observatory near Richland confirmed Einstein’s theory of relativity, it also has proven one of Hawking’s theorems.

Researchers think a mysterious signal, dubbed GW190521, could have arrived from a parallel universe after passing through a ...

Ripples in spacetime now give astronomy a second sense. The network listens to collisions, maps a low-frequency background ...

We previously covered one such “gravity telescope” with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Another one is the Japanese project Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA).

And so, one team of scientists are now running with the theory that it could be a sign of a wormhole linking our universe ...

The violent collision and merger of two black holes emits gravitational waves - ripples in spacetime - that can cause the ...

Scott Detrow talks to Lulu Miller, the host of Radiolab's Terrestrials podcast, about her conversation with the scientist Wanda Diaz-Merced, who studies gravitational waves that ripple through ...
