An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...

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 ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

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 discovery in 1998 that the Universe is expanding faster over time shook the foundations of cosmology. This finding challenged deep-seated assumptions about how space behaves on the grandest scales ...

Research teams on both sides of the Atlantic have shown that precise modeling of the universe and its contents will change the detailed understanding of the evolution of the universe and the growth of ...

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 ...

On May 29, 1919, a total solar eclipse helped to prove Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. Einstein's theory suggested that gravity could bend light by curving the fabric of spacetime. To ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity has passed its toughest test with flying colors, a new study reports. General relativity, which Einstein proposed in 1916, holds that gravity is a consequence ...

Einstein’s theory of relativity has explained the universe for more than a century. But under certain conditions, cracks ...
