Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. General relativity states that gravity is the result of mass warping the fabric of space and ...

Since 1915 when Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity, scientists have worked on testing its limits, and with the results of this 16-year test, it still holds up. Professor ...

Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is currently our best approximation of how the universe ticks. But there are holes.

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet ...

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

The universe’s accelerating expansion has long puzzled physicists. For decades, dark energy, an unseen force thought to make ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

A prediction made by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity has come true as astrophysicists have detected light coming from behind a black hole. A team of scientists made the analysis ...

An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...
