Taking advantage of a unique cosmic configuration, astronomers have measured an effect predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity in the extremely strong gravity of a pair of superdense neutron stars. Essentially, the famed physicist's 93-year-old theory passed yet another test.

.... Henrietta Swan Leavitt You were born on this day in 1868, in Lancaster, Massachuetts. You figured out how to use Cepheids with the ultimate result of understanding the size and, in the end, the fundemental nature of the Cosmos. The Big Bang theory is based in part on your contributions to Astronomy. As a woman working in Astronomy in the early days of that science, nothing important will ever...

Einstein's theory of General Relativity has been around for 93 years, and it just keeps hanging in there. With advances in technology has come the ability to put the theory under some scrutiny. Recently, taking advantage of a unique cosmic coincidence, as well as a pretty darn good telescope, astronomers looked at [...]

Researchers at McGill University's Department of Physics -- along with colleagues from several countries -- have confirmed a long-held prediction of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, via observations of a binary-pulsar star system. Their results will be published July 3 in the journal Science.

Many people will tell you the best way to launch a product is to do so early and iterate constantly. I’ve said the same thing, and generally agree with that sentiment. You don’t want to spend a year building a product without any serious customer feedback, without putting your feet to the fire in the [...]

For those who've been following all the breath-taking developments in cosmology and string theory, dark matter and dark energy, even at the layman's level, there is some exciting news from the frontier of physics (via Richard Dawkins) from Stephen Hawking. (what a hero!) Religion hasn't produced anything quite this exciting for over 2,000 years, at least. This is NOT your grandfather's Big Bang. I'm...

Back in the early 1980s, people became excited about the N=8 supergravity theory (or "SUGRA" for short), a four-dimensional field theory that combines Einstein's general relativity with as much supersymmetry as you can get. Its existence looked somewhat non-trivial. It was and it still is a beautiful structure. The high degree of supersymmetry made it more likely for divergences to cancel, a reason...
