One hundred years ago today, Albert Einstein submitted his Theory of General Relativity, a pillar of modern physics that has transformed our understanding of space, time and gravity. But what exactly ...

In general relativity, events are continuous and deterministic, meaning that every cause matches up to a specific, local effect. In quantum mechanics, events produced by the interaction of subatomic ...

11:57, Tue, Nov 24, 2020 Updated: 12:06, Tue, Nov 24, 2020 The German genius’ general theory of relativity was published more than a century ago, to refine Isaac Newton’s law of universal gravitation.

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that ...

In the Italian countryside, not far from Pisa, a vast experiment is about to be switched on. If it's a success, one of Albert Einstein's greatest predictions will have been directly observed for the ...

Introduced to the world in 1915, Einstein's general theory of relativity radically changed the Newtonian model of gravity. General relativity introduced the concept of mass warping the very fabric of ...

When black holes collide, the impact radiates into space like the sound of a bell in the form of gravitational waves. But ...

One hundred years ago today, Albert Einstein submitted his Theory of General Relativity, a pillar of modern physics that has transformed our understanding of space, time and gravity.

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 ...

In 1905, Albert Einstein determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and that the speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the motion of all observers - ...
