There is no denying the awesome predictive power of Albert Einstein's 1915 theory of gravity, general relativity — yet, the theory still has inconsistencies when it comes to calculating its effect on vast distances. And new research suggests these inconsistencies could be the result of a "cosmic glitch" in gravity itself.

Known as the "cosmic glitch," the discovery highlights anomalies in gravity's behavior, challenging the theory of general relativity.

Moving one step closer to understanding mysteries at the edge of the universe. A group of researchers at the University of Waterloo and the University of British Columbia have discovered a potential “cosmic glitch” in the universe’s gravity,
