A U.S.-led international team of scientists has reported preliminary evidence consistent with Einstein's disavowed theory of a force that opposes gravity. In 1917, Einstein proposed a cosmological constant -- a force opposing gravity -- to explain why the universe does not collapse under the force of gravity. At the time, Einstein and other scientists believed the universe was static. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

A pair of pulsars two thousand light years away have confirmed Albert's theories. Well Einstein was right...hmm big surprise there. But cool at any rate! picked by Moe 1 year ago

In 1919, an eclipse of the Sun first allowed astronomers to test Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, the general theory of relativity. Now, eclipses in a unique system of two dead stars, called pulsars, has shown that one of the pair is "wobbling" in space - just like a spinning top. The effect, called precession, is precisely as predicted by Einstein and is thus a new and exciting conf... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 1 month ago

Astronomers have confirmed the binary nature of OJ 287, a very massive black hole, orbited by a smaller one, and the interaction of the system with its surroundings produces brightness changes that allow astronomers to study the evolution of the orbit. This evolution is dominated by one of the most intriguing predictions of Einstein's theory of General Relativity. Update on this post. picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago

The fact that there’s a double ring around this gravitational-lens galaxy means that two other galaxies are aligned precisely behind it. And the odds of that happening are estimated at 1-in-10000. picked by dollyllama 7 months ago

It has long been assumed that Albert Einstein weighted science and religion equally, but a letter written by him in 1954 may well revise that. Describing god as the expression and product of human weakness and the bible as a collection of primitive legends does not sit well with the previously held assumption that he weighted science and religious belief in equal regard. An abridged version of ... read full post picked by pocksucket 3 months ago

Ninety years after he expounded his famous theory, a $700m Nasa probe has proved that the universe behaves as he said. Now the race is on to show that the other half of relativity also works. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

A $205 million upgrade will allow a laser-wielding observatory to monitor tens of thousands of galaxies for mysterious gravitational waves. Leading investigators are confident that the Advanced LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories) Project will be able for the first time to detect gravitational waves from neutron stars and black holes, as predicted by Einstein's theory of ge... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago

While searching for an observational hint of quantum gravity, scientists have seen higher-energy gamma rays from an extragalactic flare arrive later than lower-energy ones. This is a problem because according to relativity radiation travels through the vacuum at the same speed no matter what. picked by 2manyusernames 12 months ago
