A rare ring of light surrounding a galaxy nearly 590 million light-years away from Earth has been discovered by a space ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts that light will bend around objects in space, so that they focus the light like a giant lens, with this effect being bigger for massive galaxies.

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet ...

Euclid, the European Space Agency’s dark Universe detective, has made an astonishing discovery – right in our cosmic backyard ...

In the process, their experiment included photons in 37 dimensions, taking science even further down this strange quantum ...

Tachyons, faster-than-light particles, challenge Einstein's theory, hinting at time travel. New models suggest they may reshape physics, causality, and cosmic expansion.

The almost perfect alignment of NGC 6505 and the background galaxy has bent and magnified the light from the background galaxy into a spectacular ring. This rare phenomenon was first theorised to ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as ...

Image: The ring of light surrounding the NGC 6505 galaxy. Pic: PA Such rings can help scientists test Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, according to Professor Thomas Collett ...

17, 2024 — String theory remains ... including Albert Einstein's ... Nov. 7, 2024 — Researchers have developed an innovative technique to search for black hole light echoes.

A European space telescope captured a rare halo of light that circles a galaxy that is 590 million light-years away, which is ...

The discovery can help scientists test Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity. The circle of light is created by gravitational lensing around a galaxy 500 million light years away called ...
