A physics conference has received a report of the gravitational wave from the heaviest pair of black holes we’ve so far observed merging. The result is larger than theoretical models allow through ...
Brown dwarfs have fascinated astronomers for decades: too massive to be planets but not massive enough to shine like stars, their origins remain debated. Do they form like stars through gravitational ...
Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...
The study of gravitational dynamics interweaves the classical and quantum realisations of gravity, employing both traditional methods and modern amplitude techniques. At its core, the subject ...
