“This study changes the conversation about warp drives,” pronounced Dr. Jared Fuchs, as a transition between science-fiction ...

One hundred years ago this Wednesday, Albert Einstein gave the last of a series of presentations to the Prussian Academy of Sciences, which marks the official completion of his General Theory of ...

In the strange corner of modern physics where spacetime itself becomes the engine, the old rule that nothing can outrun light ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity has been wildly successful at describing how gravity works and how it shapes the large-scale structure of the universe. It’s summed up in a saying by the ...

A century ago, Albert Einstein became famous. Sure, he was already well-known among physicists. But the world at large learned his name only after November 1919, when news broke that his theory of ...

In 1915, Albert Einstein published the Theory of General Relativity, revolutionizing our perception of the universe. In the theory, space and time are a fabric, permeating even the furthest reaches of ...

General Relativity, Einstein’s revolutionary theory of gravity, reinterprets gravitational interactions as phenomena emerging from the curvature of spacetime rather than as forces in the traditional ...

The geometry of spacetime forms the very foundation of modern gravitational theory, where the elegant interplay between curvature and matter is described by Einstein’s field equations. In this ...

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.

Over the weekend, for some odd reason (probably LIGO-related), political blogger Kevin Drum decided to take on General Relativity arguing that despite its intimidating reputation, it's not that ...
