We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

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 ...

Thanks to Albert Einstein, the US Government wants to establish an official time zone for the Moon. It has less to do with jet lag and more to do with how gravity affects time and can throw a lot of ...

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 ...

Humans have been studying total solar eclipses for millennia to better understand the cosmos. Total eclipses have helped prove Einstein's theory of relativity and led to the discovery of helium. Here ...

New impressions A visualization of a curved space–time “sea” from the general-relativity simulations carried out by the authors.(Courtesy: James Mertens) From the Genesis story in the Old Testament to ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Observing time distortions could show whether Einstein's theory of general relativity accounts for the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a long-predicted phenomenon at the crossroads of relativity and quantum theory. Their ...
