Rochester Institute of Technology professors have developed a faster, more accurate way to assess gravitational wave signals and infer the astronomical sources that made them. Their method directly ...
The gravitational wave team, which includes members of the LIGO Scientific team, in RIT’s Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation consists of faculty and students working together to ...
Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed that far back in time. Yet a new paper published in Living Reviews in ...
If the universe were a soup, it would be more of a chunky minestrone than a silky-smooth tomato bisque. Sprinkled with matter that clumps together due to the insatiable pull of gravity, the universe ...
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 ...
Simulating the merger of black holes is no small scientific feat. For one thing, it requires a lot of computing horsepower — the kind you can get only from a supercomputer. It also involves solving ...

Einstein's general theory of relativity might be over 90 years old, but it is only recently that many of its implications can be explored thanks to advances in computing power. This is because its ...
