Gravity, the force that attracts objects toward each other, is currently framed by Albert Einstein's theory of general ...

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 ...

Ever since Einstein: nothing is faster than light. In 2011, an experiment at CERN seemed to prove the opposite - until the ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 1963, Roy Kerr, a New Zealand-based mathematician proposed a set of equations that explain the properties of rotating black ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Planets orbiting dead stars known as white dwarfs might be able to remain habitable thanks to general relativity subtly altering their motion. When stars like our sun run out of fuel, they expand and ...

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

Sophia Varughese has two passions: astrophysics and music. Her senior thesis is a scholarly look at black holes and ...
