On the eve of the recent major snowstorm, students, faculty, and staff gathered in the Nixon Lounge of Hawthorne-Longfellow Library to listen to Thomas W. Baumgarte, William R. Kenan Professor of ...

This post finds us at the cutting edge of physics, numerical general relativity. Because we haven't perfected mind-to-mind transmission of information, we won't actually be able to cover in any real ...

Studying the equations of General Relativity and beyond, both analytically and with state-of-the-art simulations. Novel numerical and mathematical approaches can shed light on the structure and ...

A research center dedicated to studying at the frontiers of numerical relativity and relativistic astrophysics, gravitational wave physics, its connection to experiments and observations, and ...

Research teams on both sides of the Atlantic have shown that precise modeling of the universe and its contents will change the detailed understanding of the evolution of the universe and the growth of ...

Gravitational physicists explore the implications of the general theory of relativity, in which gravitation is a consequence of the curvature of space and time. This curvature thus controls the motion ...

General Relativity, Einstein’s revolutionary theory of gravity, reinterprets gravitational interactions as phenomena emerging from the curvature of spacetime rather than as forces in the traditional ...
