The video discusses pulsars, which are dense neutron stars emitting radiation from their magnetic poles. Researchers observed a double pulsar system for 16 years to study changes in timing of flashes visible from Earth. They aimed to compare these observations with Einstein's theory of general relativity, which predicts that such systems emit gravitational waves that drain orbital energy. The study found that the energy loss measured matched the predictions of general relativity.
