BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...

In Interstellar, Miller’s planet orbits close to the black hole Gargantua, where gravity is so strong that time runs much ...

Journal for General Philosophy of Science / Zeitschrift für allgemeine Wissenschaftstheorie, Vol. 50, No. 1 (March 2019), pp. 13-27 (15 pages) In a way similar to classical mechanics where we have the ...

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 ...

“The chief attraction of the theory lies in its logical completeness,” wrote Albert Einstein after publishing his general theory of relativity in 1915. “If a single one of the conclusions drawn from ...

Thanks to Albert Einstein, the US Government wants to establish an official time zone for the Moon. It has less to do with jet lag and more to do with how gravity affects time and can throw a lot of ...

In the gloomy days of January, time seems to drag. According to the Einstein theory of relativity, it actually does—in a minute amount that means little to anyone except a scientist. During its annual ...

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 ...

Confining and rotating extremely cold atoms or molecules within atomic “Ferris wheels” made from laser light could test ...

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, ...

Planets that orbit white dwarf stars should be too hot to host alien life, theories suggest. But a new study accounting for ...
