Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is currently our best approximation of how the universe ticks. But there are holes.

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study ...

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 ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...

Why the universe is expanding faster and faster remains one of the biggest open questions in physics. Current theories cannot ...

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 ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity has passed its toughest test with flying colors, a new study reports. General relativity, which Einstein proposed in 1916, holds that gravity is a consequence ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet their unification remains one of science’s greatest challenges. Now, ...

On May 29, 1919, a total solar eclipse helped to prove Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. Einstein's theory suggested that gravity could bend light by curving the fabric of spacetime. To ...

The answer comes from a counterintuitive result of special relativity, a field of physics which is notoriously difficult to ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe could be explained by modifying general relativity so that gravity has mass – or so thinks a small group of physicists. Matthew Francis reports What lies ...
