The faster you move, the stranger time becomes. By imagining how light travels to two people moving at different speeds, Einstein showed that time isn’t absolute. His thought experiment revealed that ...

For nearly a hundred years, one of the most celebrated minds in science, Albert Einstein, had a lingering quantum thought experiment left unresolved. Now, a team of physicists at MIT has finally ...

To understand gravity, Einstein had to rethink space and time as a single connected fabric. He showed that mass bends this fabric, guiding how everything moves. NOVA is available to stream on pbs.org ...

Configurations like these, known as Einstein crosses, typically consist of four distinct points of light. This particular ...

Gravitational waves are known disturbances in the fabric of space-time caused a variety of sources, including supermassive black holes, stellar-mass black holes, neutron stars, pulsars, supernova, and ...

There is a revolutionary new method of mapping RNA that was invented in China, which could reveal the mysteries of some of ...

Academics are looking for ways to widely showcase what is thought to be the only blackboard in the world signed by Albert ...

Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically. That's why he said that great scientists were also artists. Einstein first described his intuitive thought processes at a physics ...

For perhaps the hundredth time, I try to think like Einstein. A burst of light is seen by two observers: one stationary on a platform, the other moving in a train. Assume the speed of light is the ...
