Does a cosmic ‘glitch’ in gravity pose a challenge to Albert Einstein’s greatest theory?

A view of space with lots of specks of light indicating galaxies and a few streaks representing lensed light.

The awesome predictive power of Albert Einstein’s 1915 theory of gravity, general relativity, is undeniable – yet the theory still exhibits inconsistencies when it comes to calculating its effect at great distances. And new research suggests that these inconsistencies could be the result of a “cosmic glitch” in gravity itself. In the 109 years since … Read more
