This temporal lag is a direct consequence of Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. The rule is simple: the weaker ...

Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two pinnacles of 20th-century physics. In their respective fields, ...

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 ...

New impressions A visualization of a curved space–time “sea” from the general-relativity simulations carried out by the authors.(Courtesy: James Mertens) From the Genesis story in the Old Testament to ...

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity—which explains gravity as the product of the distortion of space and time—may not be universally applicable. This is the conclusion of physicists from ...

BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...

Learn how Albert Einstein’s theory reveals that time on Mars runs faster than on Earth — and why that tiny shift matters for ...

A century ago, Albert Einstein became famous. Sure, he was already well-known among physicists. But the world at large learned his name only after November 1919, when news broke that his theory of ...

A new study by researchers at the University of Amsterdam shows how gravitational waves from black holes can be used to ...

Finally, scientists have their finger on the pulse. Spinning dead stars, known as pulsars, blast powerful beams of radio waves into space. As a pulsar spins, its beams sweep past Earth, producing a ...

We all know, or are aware of, Einstein's Theory of Relativity and of the difference between General Relativity and Special Relativity. I became aware of it as a child, although I didn't realize it at ...
