Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths ...

Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. General relativity states that gravity is the result of mass warping the fabric of space and ...

The passage of time is fundamental to the theory of relativity: how you realize it, how you calculate it, and what influences it,” said Bijunath Patla, a physicist at the National Institute of ...

Astronomers have observed a star wobbling in its orbit around a ravenous supermassive black hole that is ripping it apart and ...

“Using newer mathematical tools, my colleague and I have demonstrated a new theory that may accurately describe the universe.

If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster ...

Scientists observed a spinning black hole dragging space and time as it tore apart a star, confirming a key prediction of Einstein’s theory of relativity ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

Thanks to Albert Einstein, the US Government wants to establish an official time zone for the Moon. It has less to do with jet lag and more to do with how gravity affects time and can throw a lot of ...

In the gloomy days of January, time seems to drag. According to the Einstein theory of relativity, it actually does—in a minute amount that means little to anyone except a scientist. During its annual ...
