Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.

Gravitational waves from black holes may soon reveal where dark matter is hiding. A new model shows how dark matter surrounding massive black holes leaves detectable fingerprints in the waves recorded ...

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

The text is now best known for introducing “Pascal’s Law” or “Principle,” that any change of pressure in an enclosed incompressible fluid (like water) is transmitted equally to all points within the ...
