Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is currently our best approximation of how the universe ticks. But there are holes.

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 ...

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.

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 ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe could be explained by modifying general relativity so that gravity has mass – or so thinks a small group of physicists. Matthew Francis reports What lies ...

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 ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet their unification remains one of science’s greatest challenges. Now, ...

The answer comes from a counterintuitive result of special relativity, a field of physics which is notoriously difficult to ...

A bizarre "cosmic glitch" in the theory of how the gravity of the universe works may have been mended. The strange glitch in Einstein's description of gravity in his theory of general relativity may ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...
