Simulating the merger of black holes is no small scientific feat. For one thing, it requires a lot of computing horsepower — the kind you can get only from a supercomputer. It also involves solving ...

Research teams on both sides of the Atlantic have shown that precise modeling of the universe and its contents will change the detailed understanding of the evolution of the universe and the growth of ...

Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed that far back in time. Yet a new paper published in Living Reviews in ...

A mathematical shortcut for analyzing black hole collisions works even in cases where it shouldn’t. As astronomers use it to search for new classes of hidden black holes, others wonder: Why? Last year ...

Einstein's general theory of relativity might be over 90 years old, but it is only recently that many of its implications can be explored thanks to advances in computing power. This is because its ...

For the first time, cosmologists have used the full power of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity to perform detailed calculations of the Universe’s evolution. The two groups’ ...
