Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity—which explains gravity as the product of the distortion of space and time—may not be universally applicable. This is the conclusion of physicists ...

Modern physics stands on two pillars: Einstein’s theory of relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics. The theory ...

Albert Einstein’s prediction about how gravity behaves has been tested on a cosmic scale. Albert Einstein’s prediction about ...

On 25 November 1915, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity at the Prussian Academy of Sciences. This theory is still considered to be the most important idea in modern physics.

Researchers used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to map how nearly 6 million galaxies cluster across 11 billion years of cosmic history. Their observations line up with what Einstein's theory ...

The findings hint at limitations in explaining the Universe's accelerating expansion. Albert Einstein's general relativity theory has been a pillar of contemporary physics for more than a century.

Among the keenest hopes is that it will help reveal the nature of dark matter, the mysterious invisible something responsible ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has made significant contributions to understanding the universe's structure over the past 11 billion years, confirming Einstein's theory of general ...

An international research team's new calculations of the distortion of time and space presents new challenges to predictions ...

is exactly consistent with predictions made by Einstein's famous theory. It is, perhaps, the largest test of general relativity to date, spanning most of the 13.8-billion-year history of the ...
