“Using newer mathematical tools, my colleague and I have demonstrated a new theory that may accurately describe the universe.

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity—which explains gravity as the product of the distortion of space and time—may not be universally applicable. This is the conclusion of physicists from ...

We often marvel at the genius of Albert Einstein, a physicist who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Yet, even ...

Einstein proposed and published his theories of special and general relativity in 1905 and 1915. The concepts are monumental ...

The French philosopher Renee Descartes took some time before convincing himself that he really existed. Or, in his words, “Cogito, ergo sum,” which is Latin for I think, therefore I am. While most of ...

The MICROSCOPE mission tested the weak equivalence principle with free-falling objects in a satellite. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

A bizarre "cosmic glitch" in the theory of how the gravity of the universe works may have been mended. The strange glitch in Einstein's description of gravity in his theory of general relativity may ...

There is no denying the awesome predictive power of Albert Einstein's 1915 theory of gravity, general relativity — yet, the theory still has inconsistencies when it comes to calculating its effect on ...

As 24-cent copies of Albert Einstein’s abstruse “Coherent Field Theory” reached the U. S. last week, the man himself, his wife and a daughter plodded about Wannsee, simply hunting rooms at that lake ...

Everything in the universe has gravity – and feels it too. Yet this most common of all fundamental forces is also the one that presents the biggest challenges to physicists. Albert Einstein’s theory ...
