Gravitational distortion of time helps tell modified gravity apart from a dark force

With his theory of General Relativity in 1915, Albert Einstein revolutionized how we think about our universe. Rather than the cosmos simply providing the room for the planets and stars to orbit each other, space and time themselves were now dynamical entities in one ever-evolving play with matter and light.

Why Einstein must be wrong: In search of the theory of gravity

Einstein’s theory of gravity — general relativity — has been very successful for more than a century. However, it has theoretical shortcomings. This is not surprising: the theory predicts its own failure at spacetime singularities inside black holes — and the Big Bang itself.

The cosmological constant problem is one of the biggest crises in physics

The calculated dark energy content of the universe, based on theory, is bizarrely off the mark. In the simplest estimate, there should be enough energy in a cube with sides of length 10^-21 cm to unbind the entire Milky Way, yet in reality there appears to be much, much less.…
