Assistant Professor Haocun Yu is something of a scientific diplomat. In a recent Physical Review Letters publication, she and ...

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 ...

When an object moves extremely fast—close to the speed of light—certain basic assumptions that we take for granted no longer apply. This is the central consequence of Albert Einstein's special theory ...

Modern science reveals time's variable flow. Einstein's relativity explains how speed and gravity alter time's pace. This ...

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire field ...

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 ...

The speed of light remains one of physics’ firmest assumptions, but scientists still test whether it ever shifts under ...

NPL has shared the results of a time dilation demonstration—which shows that time travels faster as height increases, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. The demonstration ...
