Einstein's general theory of relativity forbids dispersion from happening in gravitational waves as they make their way towards Earth. LIGO did not find evidence of this effect.

For only the second time ever, scientists detected gravitational waves, the strange ripples in space-time first foreseen by Albert Einstein a century ago. The phenomenon occurs when two black ...

Just over 100 years after he published his general theory of relativity, scientists have found what Albert Einstein predicted as part of the theory: gravitational waves. “We have detected ...

In fact, a fair reading of history suggests that quantum theory is the most dramatic shift in science’s conception of reality since the ancient Greeks deposed mythological explanations of ...

In a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, scientists propose a comprehensive theoretical framework indicating ...

While the idea of pilot wave theory never really caught on, it stubbornly refused to die. A physicist named David Bohm proposed a modified version in the 1950s that also failed to gain much traction.

If the gravitational wave background detected last year came from a "supercool" phase transition around the time of the Big Bang, they hint at new physics.

Physicists at the University of Southampton have tested and proven a 50-year-old theory for the first time using electro-magnetic waves. They have shown that the energy of waves can be increased ...

Ocean waves don't come in two types, fair-weather and storm, as previously thought, new research shows, and waves differ between ocean basins.
