The curious minds at Aperture show how Einstein’s theory of relativity reshaped how we think about time, space, and gravity.
For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...
In the late 19th century, classical physics seemed complete. Scientists believed they had uncovered all the laws governing ...
Astronomers have discovered a Jupiter-size gas giant, AT2021uey b, using Einstein's Theory of Relativity method, finding this rare planet 3,200 light-years away on the edge of our galaxy.
For decades, he hid his time-travel obsession. Now, he is challenging the assumptions that underpin our universe.
From four-dimensional hexagons to the mind-bending amplituhedron, geometrical shapes are wilder than we learn at school - and ...
In the gloomy days of January, time seems to drag. According to the Einstein theory of relativity, it actually does—in a minute amount that means little to anyone except a scientist. During its ...
Microlensing, which is based on Einstein’s theory of relativity, relies on massive objects moving through the galaxy to warp the fabric of the universe, called space-time.
The Jim Lafayette Memorial Series will feature Professor Ronald Mallett at Otis Library on July 14. Here's why you should go ...
What does Einstein's theory of relativity have to do with customer experience? I don't have a fancy formula, but let's try this: Assessments of customer experiences = Memory of the experience relative ...
The special relativity theory showed that velocity was purely relative, and from one point of view the same should be true of acceleration, yet physics seemed to show evidence to the contrary.
