General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

New research suggests Einstein's general relativity explains the rarity of planets orbiting two suns. In tight binary systems ...

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 ...

Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for a theory that half of the people might not even have heard of. His Theory of ...
