For just one-tenth of a second in May 2019, the universe delivered a signal that did not fit the usual script. LIGO and Virgo ...

A new study revisits the puzzling gravitational-wave event GW190521, proposing it could be the first detected signal from a wormhole rather than a black hole merger. Using a simplified echo model, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. One of the greatest scientific achievements in all of human history was ...

LIGO scientists determined that this set of waves was produced during the final moments of the merger of two black holes — 14 and 8 times the mass of the sun — to produce a single, spinning black hole ...

Whenever a star is born in the Universe, its eventual fate is almost completely determined from the moment nuclear fusion ignites in its core. Dependent only on a few factors — mass, the presence of ...

Scientists on the lookout for subtle disturbances in the fabric of space-time have detected the signal from a cataclysmic collision between two black holes that lie some 3 billion light-years away, ...

LIGO detected gravitational waves created from the collision between two black holes. The detection was awesome, but let's look at the name of the detector for a second: Laser Interferometer ...

An artist’s conception shows gravitational waves emanating like ripples in space time as two black holes approach each other in their orbits. (Credit: T. Pyle / LIGO) It looks as if gravitational-wave ...
