The mysteries surrounding the origins of the universe have long intrigued scientists and philosophers alike. New research, published in the Living Reviews in Relativity, introduces an innovative ...
The theory of special relativity is rife with counterintuitive and surprising effects, the most famous of which are length contraction and time dilation. If an object travels at a relative speed, ...
Quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity form the bedrock of the current understanding of physics—yet the two theories don't seem to work together. Physical phenomena rely on ...
Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. According to new research published June 22 in the journal Nature Astronomy, the newly proposed ...
