Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly ...

As one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century, Albert Einstein has become synonymous with genius. He taught himself geometry and calculus while living in Germany in his teens before ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time ...

This might change our understanding of the universe. Scientists have developed a theory that eliminates the problem of ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy.

A new model has been proposed that challenges the long-standing belief that black holes contain a singularity, a region where space and time break down. This theory suggests that black holes could ...

For decades, astronomers have relied on Einstein’s theory of relativity to explain the expansion of the universe, assuming ...

This piece of the board has remained untouched since 1930 when Einstein gave a speech at Nottingham University after he was invited by the head of the physics department at the time, Henry Brose.

A "theory of everything" that encompasses both general relativity and quantum physics has thwarted the efforts of minds as great as Stephen Hawking, and even Einstein himself. One of the major ...
