The Latest Breaking News from Albert Einstein

Some black holes may actually be tangles in the fabric of space-time, new research suggests

A new paper discusses how light interacts with theoretical objects called "topological solitons" — kinks in the fabric of space-time that look just like black holes.

Violent origins of gravitational waves probed by new telescope array

The new BlackGEM array will hunt for black hole mergers and neutron star collisions, cataclysmic events that generate ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves.

If dark matter is 'invisible,' how do we know it exists?

Dark matter is the mysterious substance that accounts for most of the universe's mass, but it doesn't interact with light, making it effectively invisible. So how do astronomers know dark matter exists?

Stephen Hawking's final, god's-eye view of the cosmos ponders the ultimate origin of our universe

In the public’s mind, Stephen Hawking is a giant of 20th century science. He burst onto the popular stage with the 1988 publication of A Brief History of Time, which presented his esoteric ideas of evaporating black holes and the birth of the universe. It was an international bestseller, but…

Dark matter's secret identity could be hiding in distorted 'Einstein rings'

Researchers may be a step closer to identifying dark matter after studying unusual cases of gravitational lensing caused by "dark matter halos" surrounding distant galaxies.

New look at 'Einstein rings' around distant galaxies just got us closer to solving the dark matter debate

Physicists believe most of the matter in the universe is made up of an invisible substance that we only know about by its indirect effects on the stars and galaxies we can see.

Great Mysteries of Physics: do we really need a theory of everything?

Finding a theory of everything – explaining all the forces and particles in the universe – is arguably the holy grail of physics. While each of its main theories works extraordinarily well, they clash also with each other – leaving physicists to search for a deeper, more fundamental theory.
