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

And so, one team of scientists are now running with the theory that it could be a sign of a wormhole linking our universe with a parallel one. Led by Dr Qi Lai of the University of Chinese Academy of ...

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

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

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 ...

The GW190412 merger revealed a black-hole recoil moving faster than 50 km/s. Gravitational waves allowed its 3D motion to be reconstructed. A research group led by the Instituto Galego de Física de ...

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

In a groundbreaking moment for astrophysics, a decade ago, our understanding of the universe transformed dramatically with the detection of gravitational waves. This pivotal event was witnessed by Dr.

This discovery not only won the Nobel Prize in Physics but also opened a new era in gravitational wave astronomy. Since then, ...

A black hole merger detected with record-breaking clarity has just confirmed a bold theory Stephen Hawking proposed over 50 ...

This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors on April 12th, 2019, an observation designated GW190412. Credits: © N. Fischer, H.

Trying to figure out the nature of the universe and our place in it has been a quest of humankind since the beginning of time. That these powerful tools exist today in Louisiana should be a source of ...
