In a remarkable discovery, researchers have confirmed the existence of the "Einstein zig-zag," a rare cosmic phenomenon linked to gravitational lensing.
This dimple in space-time is the result of what we call a gravity well, and it was first described over 100 years ago by Albert Einstein's field equations in his theory of general relativity.
Einstein's theory of general relativity fundamentally changed our understanding of gravity. He proposed that massive objects distort the fabric of spacetime, much like a heavy ball bending a ...
