Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as ...

Space-time may hide a bizarre new kind of black hole that causes Einstein’s theory of gravity to fail – and could solve the ...

A rare Einstein ring spotted near our galaxy offers a unique chance to test Einstein’s general relativity and study the ...

The problems of gravity and acceleration would not go away. After thinking about the problems for 10 years, he published the general theory of relativity. In it, he suggested that gravity is not a ...

He was fascinated by physics and studied Einstein's laws of gravitation, published in 1915. He deduced that if Einstein's theory were true (and there had been good evidence for it since 1919), it ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet ...

Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair ...

By unifying all fundamental forces of nature, including gravity, string theory could provide the long-sought quantum description of gravity that has eluded scientists for decades. Through a novel ...

general relativity is one of two pillars of modern physics – our working theory of gravity and of the very large, of planets, galaxies and the universe as a whole. It is an extension of Einstein ...

The ring is made up of light from a galaxy 4.42 billion light-years away and what can be seen from Earth is distorted by ...

Using a radio telescope, scientists can very accurately observe the signal produced by pulsars, a type of neutron star and test the validity of Einstein’s theory of gravity for these extreme objects.
