Scientists Detect Sign of Something Impossible Out in Deep Space
Black holes this massive are forbidden through standard stellar evolution models. This is the most massive black hole binary we've observed through gravitational waves, and it presents a real challenge to our understanding of black hole formation.
Ask Ethan: Can we fix the worst prediction in all of science?
The cosmological constant problem exemplifies the conflict between theoretical predictions and experimental observations in understanding the Universe.
Hitler's regime undermined German science, forcing scholars like Einstein to seek refuge in America, where political attacks on science continue today.

Ask Ethan: Can we turn Einstein's equations into Newton's law?
Einstein's General Relativity, though less understood, fundamentally reshapes our conception of gravitation, moving beyond Newtonian physics to a nuanced understanding of spacetime.
