Naysayers of the magic of Santa have pooh-poohed his ability to travel down chimneys to deliver presents, but now researchers looking into the theory of relativity have found ‘proof’ that he can. One ...

Scientists come up with theories to explain known phenomena of nature and predict future outcomes. A significant aspect of study of natural phenomena is the idea of force. Scientists study reaction of ...

This semester, I'm teaching a first course in relativity to our students. The idea, one of the most famous theories of modern science, was first proposed in 1905 by a young patent officer who later ...

The two great pillars of modern physics are quantum mechanics and general relativity. These theories describe small-scale and large-scale phenomena, respectively. While quantum mechanics predicts the ...

Albert Einstein was the 20th century’s most famous physicist, revolutionising how we view gravity, light, time and, ultimately, everything. It’s almost 100 years to the day since he set the ball ...

A combination of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and quantum physics may help explain the expansion of the universe from a singular entity, P. Ajith, astrophysicist with the International ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...

BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...

Einstein’s equations were written for chalkboards and paper, yet they now sit at the heart of some of the most visually ...
