A new recipe for gravity could help solve some of the universe's greatest mysteries. It suggests that the concept of "quantum ...

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire field ...

Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. General relativity states that gravity is the result of mass warping the fabric of space and ...

Einstein–Rosen bridges may reflect a two-directional structure of time that preserves information and hints at a pre–Big Bang universe.

Born in Ülm, Germany in 1879, Einstein is generally described as having been withdrawn and slow to respond in his early years. Often he quietly sat by himself putting together shapes cut out with a ...

Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for a theory that half of the people might not even have heard of. His Theory of Relativity, though world-changing, was not cited. Yet while delivering his ...

One of the most basic assumptions of fundamental physics is that the different properties of mass -- weight, inertia and gravitation -- always remain the same in relation to each other. Although all ...

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 ...

Scientists have demonstrated that Einstein's theory of general relativity is correct to a remarkable degree of accuracy, despite having been around for more than a century. The team behind the ...
