Faster-than-light particles have spent decades in physics as both temptation and warning. They offered a way to test the ...

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 ...

Space and time looked settled, at least in broad outline. Einstein’s special relativity gave physics a durable framework for ...

The speed of light remains one of physics’ firmest assumptions, but scientists still test whether it ever shifts under ...

First of all, the prevailing quantum theory, quantum field theory, is fully relativistic from the onset. Relativity is “built into” the theory, so to speak. And it’s the only quantum theory that is ...

On May 29, 1919, a total solar eclipse helped to prove Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. [‘On This Day in Space’ Video Series on Space.com] Einstein's theory suggested that gravity could ...

In 1915, Albert Einstein put forth a new theory of gravity: General Relativity. Instead of every mass in the Universe instantly reaching across to every other mass and exerting an attractive force, ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire field ...

Like Max Planck, Albert Einstein first studied mathematics because he was told that everything interesting in physics had already been discovered. But in 1905, Einstein, a young cleark at the Swiss ...

More than a century has passed since Albert Einstein gave us general relativity, and scientists are still testing the mind-bending theory. In the latest test, an international team of astronomers used ...
