Gravitational waves allow us to test the General Theory of Relativity
2021.12.17 16:00 - Marek Pawłowski
Based on the latest research results from the LIGO / Virgo gravitational wave observatories, scientists conducted tests of General Relativity (GRT). Nine different methods were used to verify the consistency of Einstein’s theory with the observational data. No discrepancies were found. Polish scientists from the Polgraw group, including scientists from NCBJ, participated in the research.

Can dark matter help solve the problem of how fast the universe is expanding?
2021.11.25 9:53 - Marek Pawłowski
Scientists from NCBJ have recently proposed a mechanism for the production of self-interacting dark matter, resulting from decays that occur after the end of the recombination era. The authors showed that self-interacting dark matter can simultaneously solve the problems of the ΛCDM model on small and large scales.
