A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

Albert Einstein might be the daddy of all eggheads. But as his famous theory of special relativity turns 120, we tip our hats ...

Three intertwined time directions may underpin everything, turning space into mere “paint on the canvas” and pushing physics ...

From four-dimensional hexagons to the mind-bending amplituhedron, geometrical shapes are wilder than we learn at school - and ...

There are new hints that the fabric of space-time may be made of "memory cells" that record the whole history of the universe ...

Listen on The Science Show: The hunt for a crucial update to Einstein's revolutionary theories His theory of general relativity has been unsurpassable since it was published in 1915. "But there ...

In a 1923 book called “The Principle of Relativity,” Albert Einstein seemed to call out to better-equipped scientists of the future to establish the truth of his mind-bending theoretical work.

Anti-relativity rallies were held in Berlin. By the time Hitler rose to power, Einstein was declared an enemy of the state with a reported $5,000 bounty on his head.

Therefore, Einstein's gravity cannot be the ultimate theory of gravity. Indeed, it was not long after the introduction of general relativity by Einstein in 1915 that Arthur Eddington, best known ...

The theory of relativity One of the themes in the book included Albert Einstein. It mentioned many of his theories. However, the one I kept thinking about is the theory of relativity.
