During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String ...

Researchers say they may have achieved Einstein's vision of a "unified field theory" that can unite two of nature's ...

Explore the key moments in the history of quantum theory, from the early ideas of Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg to ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research shows ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time ...

Traditionally, physicists have assumed that Einstein’s theory must be modified to fit within the quantum framework. However, UCL researchers propose a striking alternative: a "postquantum theory ...

During one such daydream, Einstein experienced what he would later call “the most fortunate thought of my life.” He knew that his 1905 special relativity theory applied only to the ...

This effect, predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, helps astronomers study galaxies from the... A new study has put forward a black hole model that eliminates the central ...

Albert Einstein had connections with Bose, Tagore, Gandhi, and Nehru. He met Rabindranath Tagore in Germany, where they exchanged a series of brilliant thoughts. While Einstein showed an interest in ...

Physicists have taken a bold step beyond Einstein's special theory of relativity, proposing an expansion of special ...

A new model of space-time may have provided the "first observational evidence supporting string theory," according to a study ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity can be summed up in just 12 words: “Space-time tells matter how to move; matter tells space-time how to curve”. But this short description from the ...
