The Universe is the stage for titanic collisions between massive objects, generating waves that propagate through the fabric ...

Researchers suggest that tiny wormholes could be punching microscopic holes through the fabric of space-time, Live Science reports, thereby driving the accelerating expansion of the universe. For ...

"Warp drives" used by super-advanced alien civilizations may create specific space-time ripples in their wake that we can spot from Earth, a new paper argues. However, the jury is still out on whether ...

Massive ripples in the very fabric of space and time wash over Earth constantly, although you'd never notice. An astrophysicist is trying a new search for these gravitational waves. University of ...

In 2023, physicists were awed to find nearly imperceptible ripples in the fabric of space and time — united as an entity known as spacetime. They were ripples discovered in association with ...

In the 21st century, space exploration is experiencing a technological renaissance, akin to the space race of the mid-20th century.

A collapsing warp bubble like the one seen in Star Trek would set space ringing with gravitational waves. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...

Is our 3-D universe is just the inward projection of an infinitely distant boundary? Space seems fundamental. Many physicists now think that the fabric of space emerges from something deeper. And the ...

Most of today’s leading theoretical physicists have a shared perspective about what the next revolution in physics will look like. They think reconciling Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity ...
