A schema showing how the orbits of planets change under Einstein's gravity in a two-star system.

Planets orbiting two stars were expected to be everywhere. Instead, astronomers have discovered only a few, according to a new study. Einstein’s general theory of relativity We may be quietly wiping out many of them. For years, this gap has puzzled scientists. The numbers simply didn’t add up, as binary stars are common in galaxies … Read more

Researchers have detected for the first time that voids in the sky are moving faster than people. speed of light And they broke the speed limit of the universe without breaking the theory of relativity. Recent studies have shown void acceleration. The researchers used recent advances in ultrafast electron microscopy to measure the voids of … Read more
