A spacecraft traveling at 99 percent the speed of light toward Alpha Centauri would cross 4.3 light-years in what feels like months to its crew, while decades tick by on Earth. That asymmetry is not ...

From phone boxes and flux capacitors to black holes and hot tubs, sci-fi has created plenty of ways to explore the fourth ...

A series of recent theoretical papers argue that some subluminal “warp-drive” spacetime designs could avoid the traditional requirement for “exotic” negative-energy matter, or at least reduce/shift ...

Scientists worldwide respond to the publication of the three-volume monograph “Quantum Model of the Universe” #Physics ...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - On March 14, 1879, physicist Albert Einstein was born in Germany. Einstein’s theories of relativity transformed how scientists understand space, time, and the universe. His ...

The discovery of a newborn magnetar inside a distant supernova helps explain why some stellar explosions shine far brighter ...

Some of the most extreme explosions in the universe are Type I superluminous supernovae. “They are one of the brightest ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

Researchers found a magnetic star core acting as a high speed engine to power a record breaking luminous supernova.

Astronomers have discovered a strange new signal coming from an exploding star — a “chirp” that speeds up over time, similar to the signals seen when black holes collide. The unusual pattern appeared ...

The findings confirm a theory first proposed 16 years ago by University of California, Berkeley theoretical astrophysicist ...

Researchers say the "powerful engine" behind superluminous exploding stars had been hidden for years — until a "chirp" from the cosmos helped confirm their link.
