Albert Einstein’s name has become shorthand for genius in theoretical physics. We tend to picture him scribbling equations ...

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 ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity views time similarly to width, height, and length. As such, both time and space can be curved by gravity. This effectively means that time is slower the closer ...

Space and time seem like two completely different ideas, but Einstein showed they are interlinked in what is known as ...
