Faint gravitational waves may be from primordial fractures in space-time
By Paul Sutter published
The early universe may have been such a violent place that space-time itself fractured like a pane of glass, releasing gravitational waves that astronomers say we may have already detected.

Wormholes might bend light like black holes do — and that could be the key to finding them
By JoAnna Wendel published
If wormholes exist, they might magnify distant objects according to Einstein's theory of relativity — and that makes it possible for us to find them, new research suggests.

Colliding black holes 'ring' across space-time with gravitational wave ripples
By Robert Lea published
A new model suggests how gravitational waves created by the collision between black holes spread and interact within the fabric of space-time.

The Illusion of Time: What's Real?
By Robert Lawrence Kuhn last updated
Any clock keeps time, but space-time is much harder to pin down.

Why is gravity so weak? The answer may lie in the very nature of space-time
By Paul Sutter published
Reference The solution as to why gravity is so weak may come from taking a closer look at the Higgs boson.
