Einstein's equations reveal how gravity could break, reconnect, and release energy

1. ScienceDaily FIRST 2d ago Einstein's equations reveal how gravity could break, reconnect, and release energy

   More than a century after Einstein revolutionized our understanding of gravity, scientists have uncovered a surprising new phenomenon hidden within his equations. Researchers at Columbia University and Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez have identified a theoretical process called "gravitational reconnection," in which structures within gravitational fields can break apart and reconnect, transferring energy into matter.

   A fresh look at Einstein's equations suggests that gravity can sometimes snap and reconnect, similar to magnetic field lines on the sun. The findings hint at a new way that gravity and matter can trade energy.
