Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites continuously beam down ultra-precise timestamps, each message essentially saying, ...

Planets that orbit white dwarf stars should be too hot to host alien life, theories suggest. But a new study accounting for ...

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made ...

In October 2015, a young mathematician named Clemens Sämann was flying home to Austria from a conference in Turin, Italy, when he had a chance encounter. He found himself seated beside Michael ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

The curious minds at Aperture show how Einstein’s theory of relativity reshaped how we think about time, space, and gravity. NFL Top-10 Rankings: A New No. 1; Steelers, Colts Climb; Lions, Eagles ...

Theoretical physicists have proposed a potential solution to one of the most puzzling problems in modern physics: the black hole singularity paradox. By modifying Einstein's theory of general ...

Researchers used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to map how nearly 6 million galaxies cluster across 11 billion years of cosmic history. Their observations line up with what Einstein's theory ...

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 ...

In 1963, Roy Kerr, a New Zealand-based mathematician proposed a set of equations that explain the properties of rotating black holes as per Einstein’s theory of general relativity. These equations are ...

WASHINGTON - An idea conceived when Dwight Eisenhower was president finally soared into orbit Tuesday when NASA launched a satellite designed to test parts of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.
