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 ...

For over a century, Einstein's general theory of relativity has been key to understanding gravity. But new research suggests this theory "glitches" in the farthest reaches of space. That doesn't ...

For more than a century, Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity has provided a surprisingly accurate framework for understanding the gravitational machinations of the universe. However ...

However, all attempts to blend general relativity and quantum physics necessarily introduce deviations from Einstein's theory. Therefore, Einstein's gravity cannot be the ultimate theory of gravity.

Physicist Albert Einstein published the theory of general relativity in 1915. The theory of general relativity deals with "how gravity affects the fabric of space-time," according to Space.

Einstein presented his general theory of relativity at the end of 1915 in a series of lectures in Berlin. But it wasn’t until a solar eclipse in 1919 that everyone took notice.

The first photo of a black hole has revealed more support for Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. The size of the black hole’s shadow matches up with Einstein’s theory, making it ...

The general theory of relativity, Einstein asserted, was now complete. The month leading up to the historic announcement had been the most intellectually intense and anxiety-ridden span of his life.
