Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, an immensely important update to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, is currently our best approximation ...

Science. The skyscraper-sized asteroid that threatened to hit Earth in 2089 will pass close by on September 18 Science. Earthquake in space research: James Webb and Hubble telescopes confirm that the ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

In doing so he turned science on its head and took over Newton’s mantle in defining the new age Gravity is not a force, as Newton and his apple would have had us believe, but a distortion of ...

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 ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been proven right on the largest scale yet. An analysis of millions of galaxies shows that the way they have evolved and clustered over billions of ...

Physicists have spent a century trying to reconcile the smooth fabric of spacetime in general relativity with the jittery ...

Albert Einstein was the 20th century’s most famous physicist, revolutionising how we view gravity, light, time and, ultimately, everything. It’s almost 100 years to the day since he set the ball ...

This semester, I'm teaching a first course in relativity to our students. The idea, one of the most famous theories of modern science, was first proposed in 1905 by a young patent officer who later ...

Analysis: 1919's total eclipse of the sun provided the first evidence in favour of Einstein's theory of general relativity A total eclipse of the sun is a cosmic spectacle that provides a moment of ...
