The Synthesis of "gravitational waves"

Discover gravitational waves, the invisible ripples in spacetime predicted by Einstein. Learn how they are detected and what they reveal about the cosmos.

Discover pulsars, the rapidly spinning neutron stars that act as cosmic clocks. Learn why these celestial lighthouses are key to modern astronomy.

Explore Einstein's theory of general relativity, which describes gravity not as a force, but as the curvature of spacetime by mass and energy.

Discover gravity, the fundamental force that shapes our universe, from falling apples to the orbits of planets. Learn how it holds everything together.

Explore the science of waves, from the sound we hear to the light we see, and discover why these energy carriers are crucial to our daily lives.

Discover gravitational lensing, where massive objects bend light, revealing distant galaxies and confirming Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Explore Einstein's theory of relativity. Learn how space, time, and gravity are linked and how E=mc² changed our understanding of the universe.

Discover spacetime, the four-dimensional fabric of the universe that combines space and time. Learn how gravity is a curve in this cosmic fabric.

Discover how wave interference, the meeting of two or more waves, creates everything from noise-canceling tech to the colors on a soap bubble.

Discover radio waves, the invisible part of the electromagnetic spectrum that powers everything from your Wi-Fi to our understanding of the cosmos.
