A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

A bizarre "cosmic glitch" in the theory of how the gravity of the universe works may have been mended. The strange glitch in Einstein's description of gravity in his theory of general relativity may ...

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 ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

A new software package detailed by Chinese scientists promises to tell what time it is on the moon, accounting for effects of ...

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 field ...

Like Max Planck, Albert Einstein first studied mathematics because he was told that everything interesting in physics had already been discovered. But in 1905, Einstein, a young cleark at the Swiss ...

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

Humans have been studying total solar eclipses for millennia to better understand the cosmos. Total eclipses have helped prove Einstein's theory of relativity and led to the discovery of helium. Here ...

A new solution to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests hypothetical gravitational stars that look like black holes could be nested within one another. When you purchase through ...
