A groundbreaking quantum experiment conducted by MIT physicists has turned a major page in the long-standing debate between ...

In 1919, a total solar eclipse allowed scientists to confirm Einstein’s theory of general relativity by observing how the sun’s gravity bent starlight. This discovery revolutionized physics and made ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) is a physics framework that describes how particles and forces behave based on principles rooted ...

At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go ...

Therefore, Einstein’s gravity cannot be the ultimate theory of gravity. Indeed, it was not long after the introduction of general relativity by Einstein in 1915 that Arthur Eddington, best known for ...

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, which suggests that gravity is due to the curvature of space and time, is more than 100 years old. And it's holding up as researchers analyze the ...

Was Einstein Right? Putting General Relativity to the Test. Clifford Will. Basic Books. New York, 1986. 296 pp., illus. $18.95. Einstein's theory of general relativity holds a unique position in ...

In his 1986 book, Was Einstein Right? Prof. Clifford Will, physics, Washington University in St. Louis, declared anyone who questioned Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity to be a ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Einstein completed his theory of general relativity in 1915 when he was 37 years old. What did he do for the remaining 40 years of his life? He continued developing his ...
