A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

GENEVA (AP) — A startling find at one of the world’s foremost laboratories that a subatomic particle seemed to move faster than the speed of light has scientists around the world rethinking ...

The faster you move, the stranger time becomes. By imagining how light travels to two people moving at different speeds, Einstein showed that time isn’t absolute. His thought experiment revealed that ...

Albert Einstein was born March 14, 1879 (coincidentally, 3/14 is also known as pi day because it’s the three digits of pi: 3.14). Known as the father of modern physics, he published some of the most ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

Nature India: What inspired you to embark on a career in particle physics? Partha Ghose: In 1961, I went to Imperial College London wanting to decipher what lies at the deepest core of matter. This ...

E = mc 2 may be the most quotidian equation in physics. Everyone’s heard of it and it’s been proven time and again. Did you convert mass into energy? Go tell it to the stars, whose light is generated ...

Yeah, yeah, Albert Einstein. Smart guy. This being summer, you see his face on T-shirts, sticking out his tongue, as if to say, “Ask the guy wearing this if he can explain fractions.” Props to ...

The research that leads to a Nobel Prize in physics can sometimes be a little obscure. In 1990, for example, three scientists got the nod “for their pioneering investigations concerning deep inelastic ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...
