Theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate, Kip Thorne, came to the BYU campus to lecture about his discoveries and theories ...

You may not feel it, but at every single moment you are being ever-so-slightly stretched and squeezed by ripples in space-time. These ripples, called gravitational waves, are caused by the movements ...

The universe occasionally produces a huge surprise that proves physicists wrong, says Kip Thorne, who grew up in Logan, Utah, ...

NASA Scientist Tom Statler termed it “a window into the deep past,” and the phrase has rapidly become the emotional center of ...

Scientists monitor how ripples in spacetime, most likely caused by the interaction of supermassive black holes, affect the timing of signals from pulsars. (Illustration by Aurore Simonnet for NANOGrav ...

LISA is set to revolutionize our understanding of the gravitational universe and the interactions that make the entire cosmos turn. Reading time 6 minutes LISA, a $1.6 billion gravitational wave ...

Billions of years ago, when it was first emerging from clouds of gas and dust, the solar system was supposedly in order. Then gravitational forces threw everything off. What happened in the early ...

Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity, has passed all tests with predictions that are spot-on. One prediction that remains is "gravitational wave memory"—the prediction that a passing ...

A pair of theoretical physicists are reporting that the same observations inspiring the hunt for a ninth planet might instead be evidence within the solar system of a modified law of gravity ...
