My stepson (aged 12) has a project coming up and he has decided to do it on Einsteins theory of relativity. Rather than telling him not to be so silly and do something less complex, I figured we might ...

(Nanowerk News) Albert Einstein, one of the most celebrated modern scientists, proposed the revolutionary theory of special relativity over a century ago. This theory forms the basis of most of what ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet their unification remains one of science’s greatest challenges. Now, ...

Scientists across New York State are planning to recreate an experiment from 1919 that proves Einstein’s theory of relativity. The Eddington Experiment allowed scientists to see stars that should be ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

As new and powerful telescopes gather fresh data about the universe, they reveal the limits of older theories like Einstein's relativity. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Scientists have determined a way to measure gravity on microscopic levels, perhaps bringing them closer to forming a theory of "quantum gravity" and to solving some major cosmic mysteries. Quantum ...

Gravity doesn’t discriminate. An experiment in orbit has confirmed, with precision a hundred times greater than previous efforts, that everything falls the same way under the influence of gravity. The ...

Physicists "watch" as time slows down. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Using one of the world's most precise atomic clocks, ...

Researchers at Osaka University demonstrate the relativistic contraction of an electric field produced by fast-moving charged particles, as predicted by Einstein’s theory, which can help improve ...
