Unlike other forces, gravity is not just an attraction between masses; it is the curvature of spacetime itself, bending light and s…
In 1917, Einstein added a "cosmological constant" to his equations to force a static universe, later calling it his "greatest blunder"[reference:0][reference:1]. When Hubble proved the universe was expanding, Einstein abandoned the term, missing the chance to predict cosmic expansion[reference:2][r…
Close your eyes and let your mind drift into the universe's greatest secret—the invisible matter that holds galaxies together. Dark matter makes up about 85% of all matter, yet it emits no light, absorbs nothing, and remains completely hidden from our eyes[reference:0][reference:1]. We know it exis…
