BIZARRE: Albert einstein - What They Never Told You

Einstein’s theories fuel the drama in Project Hail Mary

The science fiction film Project Hail Mary brilliantly uses authentic science to underscore the human drama and narrative tension of the story.

Scientists witness birth of one of the universe's strongest magnets for the first time, thanks to a general relativity 'magic trick'

Astronomers have detected strange "wobbles" in the light curve of a super bright supernova, hinting that a magnetar was born inside the extreme stellar explosion.

Project Hail Mary is packed with hard science. An astrophysicist breaks it down

As an astrophysicist, my world revolves around the wonders of space and the mysteries of the universe. This means I can be a tough critic of science fiction books and films that explore these topics.

'Truly extraordinary': Mega-laser shooting at us from halfway across the universe is the brightest 'cosmic beacon' we've ever seen

Astronomers have discovered the brightest and most distant "megamaser" to date. The cosmic energy beam is shooting toward Earth from 8 billion light-years away and was spotted thanks to a weird space-time trick first predicted by Einstein.

'Collective hum' of black holes could mend our broken understanding of the universe, physicists say

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

Do you weigh more when an elevator goes up or when it comes down?

Do you weigh more when an elevator goes up or when it comes down?

Your weight doesn't change because of gravity but because the floor pushes back. Physicists explain why elevators briefly make you feel heavier or lighter.

50 Fascinating Historical Photos That Reveal A Side Of The Past People Forget About

History is packed with captivating stories, but not all of them make it into textbooks or newspaper headlines. Usually, only the biggest moments get the spotlight, while the lesser-known ones quietly fade away with time—which is a real shame, because they’re often just as interesting. Thankfully, the Instagram page Rare…

Record-breaking gravitational wave puts Einstein's relativity to its toughest test yet — and proves him right again

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity to its toughest test yet.

Radio signal discovered at the center of our galaxy could put Einstein's relativity to the test

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, near a supermassive black hole.
