The answer comes from a counterintuitive result of special relativity, a field of physics which is notoriously difficult to ...

Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is currently our best approximation of how the universe ticks. But there are holes.

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study ...

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

In this last part of our series on recently digitized books from the Wenner Collection, we are focusing on works that ...

Since Einstein, physicists have found that certain entities can reach superluminal (that means "faster-than-light") speeds and still follow the cosmic rules laid down by special relativity.

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Black holes are the most massive objects in the universe, and you definitely don't want to run into one, but there's a chance ...

New quantum experiments may settle the century-old Einstein vs Bohr debate, revealing key insights into quantum behaviour.

Overlay of the infrared emission (black and white) with the radio emission (colour). The dark, low-mass object is located at ...

Experienced network designers know that the performance achievable of a data link depends on many factors, including the ...

If the Chinese have figured out a highly accurate system, the mathematics involved are valid regardless of who writes the ...
