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 ...

Einstein’s equations were written for chalkboards and paper, yet they now sit at the heart of some of the most visually spectacular simulations ever run on a supercomputer. By folding general ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

It might not be obvious to those of us only grappling with more mundane concerns, but for cosmologists bent on unlocking the universe’s deepest secrets, there’s no shortage of problems keeping them up ...

New tweak to Einstein's relativity could transform our understanding of the Big Bang 'Collective hum' of black holes could settle the debate over new physics Physicists find possible errors in ...

In October 2015, a young mathematician named Clemens Sämann was flying home to Austria from a conference in Turin, Italy, when he had a chance encounter. He found himself seated beside Michael ...

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. When you purchase through links on our ...

Albert Einstein’s mind reinvented space and time, foretelling a universe so bizarre and grand that it has challenged the limits of human imagination. An idea born in a Swiss patent office that evolved ...

When students learn that Albert Einstein won a Nobel Prize, the assumption feels automatic: relativity. The bending of space and time. The theory that redefined gravity and reshaped modern physics.
