The Latest Breaking News from Black Hole

Unproven Einstein theory of 'gravitational memory' may be real after all, new study hints

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research shows how this theory of gravitational memory could finally be proven.
