Throughout Hollywood history, space has often been depicted with baffling inaccuracies. It takes dedication and knowledge to ensure a movie correctly portrays space and space travel, and here are a ...

Voyager pushed the limits of TV storytelling with a season 6 episode that explored time dilation way before Interstellar.

This phenomenon is known as gravitational time dilation, where the perception of time differs depending on the observer’s distance from a gravitational mass or position within a gravitational field.

According to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, gravitational waves warp spacetime. In the process, they could imprint permanent changes, or “gravitational memory,” on their surroundings.

Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts gravitational memory, where space-time retains imprints from passing gravitational waves. Researchers are exploring if the cosmic microwave ...

More advanced models that account for the universe’s evolution over time will be needed to make accurate predictions. While detecting gravitational wave memory remains a difficult task, future ...

Another prediction of general relativity is that the "memory" of ancient cosmological events, like the merging of two black holes, might be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves.

By applying specific lasers, they could tune how strongly atoms experience gravitational time dilation, providing a clear signature that the effect truly comes from Einstein’s relativity rather ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research ...

The first direct detection of gravitational waves, ripples in space-time caused by the movements of massive cosmic objects, a decade ago 1 marked the start of a new era in astronomy. Gravitational ...

If their orbit is tight enough, the effects of Einstein’s general theory of relativity kick in, and the binary starts to produce gravitational waves — ripples in the shape of space-time.
