One of the biggest challenges in modern physics is uniting quantum mechanics and general relativity. A new experiment may ...

In 1919, a total solar eclipse allowed scientists to confirm Einstein’s theory of general relativity by observing how the sun ...

In pure general relativity, with no other modifications or considerations of other physics, they remain black for eternity. Once one forms, it will just hang out there, being a black hole, forever.

According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity results from how mass warps space and time. The greater an object's mass, the stronger its gravitational pull. Scientists have largely ...

For the first time, a mathematical framework proves that Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which explains the relationship between space, time, and gravity, is in alignment with quantum ...

Previously, uniting general relativity with quantum physics has meant taking space-time — the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time, unified as a single 4D entity that is at ...

Atomic clocks measure Einstein's general relativity at millimeter scale Date: February 16, 2022 Source: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Summary: Physicists have measured ...

When the first-ever image of a black hole was released in April 2019, it marked a powerful confirmation of Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, or general relativity. The theory not only ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity can be summed up in just 12 words: “Space-time tells matter how to move; matter tells space-time how to curve”. But this short description from the ...
