LISA is the major ESA scientific mission that will observe the Universe by detecting the gravitational waves that traverse it ...

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 ...

Utah native Kip Thorne, who helped conceive the movie “Interstellar,” is excited about the future of gravitational wave ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Sometimes, if the night is dark and clear enough, you can look up and see the Milky Way in its arc across the sky.
