Physicist Simplifies Einstein-Lovelock Theory for Black Holes
Allowing for quantum corrections, the Einstein-Lovelock theory describes black holes with an equation that contains an infinite number of terms. However, according to a RUDN…

The temporal evolution of the universe, from the Big Bang to the present, is described by Einstein’s field equations of general relativity. However, there are…
How did the universe begin? How does quantum mechanics, the study of the smallest things relate to gravity and the study of big things? These…
Symmetry has been one of the guiding principles in physicists’ search for fundamental laws of nature. What does it mean that laws of nature have…
Trapped atoms, suspended aloft on a lattice of laser light for as long as 20 seconds, allow for highly sensitive measurements of gravity, according to…
Einstein’s theory of General Relativity is world famous – but it might not be the only way to explain how gravity works and how galaxies…
A newly published study details how a team of physicists simultaneously measured gravity with cold atoms at three different heights to achieve the first direct…
By combining GRAIL gravity data with computer models of large asteroid impacts and known details about the geologic evolution of impact craters, scientists were able…
