My stepson (aged 12) has a project coming up and he has decided to do it on Einsteins theory of relativity. Rather than telling him not to be so silly and do something less complex, I figured we might ...

Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet their unification remains one of science’s greatest challenges. Now, ...

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 ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

(Nanowerk News) Albert Einstein, one of the most celebrated modern scientists, proposed the revolutionary theory of special relativity over a century ago. This theory forms the basis of most of what ...

Researchers have conducted a 16-year long experiment to challenge Einstein's theory of general relativity. The international team looked to the stars - a pair of extreme stars called pulsars to be ...

Einstein’s theory of general relativity has made countless correct predictions. And yet physicists are constantly trying to prove it wrong. Why? What would it be good for to prove Einstein wrong? And ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Researchers at Osaka University demonstrate the relativistic contraction of an electric field produced by fast-moving charged particles, as predicted by Einstein’s theory, which can help improve ...
