A newly developed solution to the equations at the heart of Albert Einstein's most revolutionary theory suggests hypothetical stars called "nestars" could be made from stacked gravitational stars, or ...

Some of the hardest questions in cosmology begin where the usual math gives up. Push Einstein’s theory far enough back toward the Big Bang, and the equations run into a singularity, a point where ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An illustration shows a gravastar stacked like a cosmic matryoshka doll. A newly developed solution to the equations at the heart ...

It stands among the most famous theories ever created, but the general theory of relativity did not spring into being with a single, astonishing paper like the special theory of relativity in 1905.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. It's difficult to appreciate how revolutionary of a transformation it ...

I have covered several different software packages for doing scientific computation in Linux Journal, but I haven't spent as much time describing available libraries and the kind of work that can be ...

The quality and quantity of current and forthcoming cosmological datasets call for both analytical and numerical modelling of the dynamics of nonlinear gravitational matter based on general relativity ...

And why not? Cheered on, to his disgust, by most of his Berlin colleagues, Germany had started a ruinous world war. He had split up with his wife, and she had decamped to Switzerland with his sons. He ...
