On the eve of the recent major snowstorm, students, faculty, and staff gathered in the Nixon Lounge of Hawthorne-Longfellow Library to listen to Thomas W. Baumgarte, William R. Kenan Professor of ...

Rogue black holes kicked from their galactic lairs are among the surprising predictions made by physicists using powerful computers to solve Einstein's equations of general relativity. David Appell ...

This post finds us at the cutting edge of physics, numerical general relativity. Because we haven't perfected mind-to-mind transmission of information, we won't actually be able to cover in any real ...

A research center dedicated to studying at the frontiers of numerical relativity and relativistic astrophysics, gravitational wave physics, its connection to experiments and observations, and ...

Ripples in space-time from a pair of merging black holes have been recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists to test predictions of general relativity ...

LIGO's GW250114 signal tests Einstein's relativity, revealing black hole properties and confirming key theorems in gravitational wave research.

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 ...

Gravitational physicists explore the implications of the general theory of relativity, in which gravitation is a consequence of the curvature of space and time. This curvature thus controls the motion ...
