The universe occasionally produces a huge surprise that proves physicists wrong, says Kip Thorne, who grew up in Logan, Utah, ...

Past research about black hole births rarely included magnetic fields or the spins of the precursor stars. But considering ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: In May of 2019, a short-duration binary black hole (BBH) merger contained no evidence of the inspiral signal typical of these kinds of a ...

LIGO's 2015 detection confirmed Einstein's theory and sparked a decade of data. Upgraded LIGOs now detect black hole mergers every three days with precision. New 2025 findings confirmed Hawking’s ...

Gravitational Waves were only first observed in 2015, captured via instruments at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory. This is going to change the way we look at physics forever, ...

The younger black hole, the product of a cataclysmic cosmic event known as a black hole merger, was first spotted in 2019. Now, about 6 years later, a team of international researchers led by the ...

LIVINGSTON PARISH, La. (WAFB) - A decade ago, researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detected ripples in the fabric of the universe, confirming the existence of ...

Hard to believe it has been 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves. Back then, on Sept. 14, 2015, at 5:51 a.m., it had been 100 years since Albert Einstein predicted gravitational ...

Sept. 14, 2015, was one of the most important days in science history. It marked the first-ever detection of gravitational waves, tiny ripples in space-time (the four-dimensional union of space and ...

A signal lasting less than a second traveled about 1.3 billion light years before it reached an observatory deep in the piney woods of Livingston 10 years ago. The brief signal — caused by a pair of ...
