Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe with Clocks of Pulsar Precision
For centuries, astronomers have used the stars to tell time. Now, researchers have revealed that pulsars—rapidly spinning neutron stars—can be used to measure time with unprecedented precision. In a new study, researchers have shown that by monitoring a pair of pulsars, scientists can measure the effects of gravity with far greater accuracy than ever before. The findings provide a window into the fundamental nature of gravity, and could help scientists in their search for new physics.
