Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity has given us navigation through the Global Positioning System (GPS), working models of black holes and was instrumental in understanding how the Big Bang ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe could be explained by modifying general relativity so that gravity has mass – or so thinks a small group of physicists. Matthew Francis reports What lies ...

This week we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity -- an idea that changed everything. Its ground breaking proposals about space time and gravity ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with those of general relativity. While quantum mechanics governs the behaviour of particles at the smallest ...

It’s the year 2100. You wake up alone in a small, windowless room. The only other thing in the room is a small ball. Maybe the room is located in your city, but maybe it’s inside that new spaceship ...
