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 ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...

A "New Theory of Everything" aims to advance and improve our understanding of gravity beyond what we know from Einstein's Theory of Relativity. For years, scientists have tried to combine gravity with ...

A peer-reviewed paper published in The European Physical Journal C presents a modification to Einstein’s general relativity that eliminates the singularities associated with the Big Bang and Big ...

Einstein's theory of gravity — general relativity — has been very successful for more than a century. However, it has theoretical shortcomings. This is not surprising: the theory predicts its own ...

Space and time looked settled, at least in broad outline. Einstein’s special relativity gave physics a durable framework for ...
