This is how the Penrose Singularity Theorem Predicts The End of Space Time. The 2020 Nobel prize in physics went to black holes. It was shared by the astronomers who revealed to us the Milky Way ...

It stands among the most famous theories ever created, but the general theory of relativity did not spring into being with a single, astonishing paper like the special theory of relativity in 1905.

Mathematical equations, from the formulas of special and general relativity, to the Pythagorean theorem, are both powerful and pleasing in their beauty to many scientists. Here are experts ...

Steven Strogatz offers a walk-through of Albert Einstein’s childhood proof of the Pythagorean theorem, and what it shows about his thinking on relativity. Skip to main content.

Noether’s theorem was particularly helpful as particle physicists in the 20th century crafted their standard model, the theory that explains every nongravitational force and particle in nature.

Yet the mathematics of general relativity is also profoundly counterintuitive. Because its basic equations are so complicated, even the simplest-sounding statements are difficult to prove. For example ...

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.

Bell's theorem, the well-known theoretical framework introduced by John Bell decades ago, delineates the limits of classical physical processes arising from relativistic causality principles ...

The power of Noether’s theorem has inspired physicists to look toward symmetry to discover new physics. Over a century later, Noether’s insights continue to influence the way physicists think.
