What happened
Researchers at Columbia University and Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez have identified a theoretical process called gravitational reconnection within Einstein's equations. The process suggests gravity might split apart, rejoin, and free up energy. The finding is described as a surprising new phenomenon hidden in equations more than a century old.
Why it matters
The reports describe the finding as a surprising new phenomenon, showing that the equations still hold unexpected behavior.
