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 ...

Scientists are rethinking the universe’s deepest mysteries using numerical relativity, complex computer simulations of Einstein’s equations in extreme conditions. This method could help explore what ...

A research team proposes utilizing numerical relativity, a computational technique for solving Einstein's equations in high-gravity environments, to investigate the universe's origin. The approach ...
