At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

When Albert Einstein introduced his theory of general relativity in 1915, it changed the way we viewed the universe. His gravitational model showed how Newtonian gravity, which had dominated ...

In the late 19th century, classical physics seemed complete. Scientists believed they had uncovered all the laws governing ...

The slower growth of gravitational wells and the accelerating expansion might share the same underlying cause.” In so many ...

The field of advanced propulsion and gravity manipulation has long captivated the curiosity of scientists, engineers, and ...

Neil deGrasse Tyson explains how Newton saw gravity as a force, while Einstein revealed it as warped space-time. A clear, ...

In an unprecedented discovery, astronomers have detected a rare exoplanet located at the very edge of the Milky Way galaxy, using a method grounded in Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity.

In 1905 Einstein discovered the special theory of relativity, establishing the famous dictum that nothing—no object or signal—can travel faster than the speed of light. And therein lies the rub.

You get quantum gravity—a chaotic battlefield where time might not exist, and gravity behaves like a quantum ghost. This theory could unlock the secrets of black holes, the Big Bang, and even parallel ...

Using gravitational microlensing, scientists have discovered a rare, large planet at the edge of the Milky Way. The planet is ...

Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that "singularities" seem to exist at the hearts of black holes. The idea of the ...
