Modern physics stands on two pillars: Einstein’s theory of relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics. The theory of relativity encompasses the gravitational force, one of the four ...

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire ...

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 ...

On 25 November 1915, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity at the Prussian Academy of Sciences. This theory is still considered to be the most important idea in modern physics.

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy.

“If you ask kids to show you what ... For his part, Einstein never quite knew what hit him. “I never understood why the theory of relativity with its concepts and problems so far removed ...

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 ...

Cosmic speed limits can be a major inconvenience but they've rarely stopped science fiction in its tracks.
