A new physics paper proposes modifications to Einstein’s theory of relativity that could solve one of the biggest issues ...

General relativity stands as one of the bedrock theories in modern physics. Its strange view of relative time and space has been confirmed by countless experimental and observational tests, from ...

Now it seems that wormholes, those shortcut tunnels through time and space that Albert Einstein theorized and that science fiction depicts as portals between two distant galactic points, are at the ...

One of the greatest mysteries of modern physics, the "black hole information paradox," might have finally found an elegant ...

One of the most basic assumptions of fundamental physics is that the different properties of mass -- weight, inertia and gravitation -- always remain the same in relation to each other. Although all ...

Albert Einstein is best known for his breakthrough on the theory of relativity which revolutionized modern physics.

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

Physicists have achieved a long-sought goal in demonstrating quantum entanglement using the momentum of atoms, rather than their internal states. Since atoms’ momentum can be affected by gravity, this ...

A jarring divide cleaves modern physics. On one side lies quantum theory, which portrays subatomic particles as probabilistic waves. On the other lies general relativity, Einstein’s theory that space ...
