A new software package detailed by Chinese scientists promises to tell what time it is on the moon, accounting for effects of ...

China has quietly solved a problem that only becomes obvious once you try to live and work off-world: clocks on the moon do ...

Albert Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, but not for relativity—the theory that made him famous. This article ...

Like stretch marks left on skin that expanded too quickly or cracks embedded in freezing ice, cosmic strings are artifacts of ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched one of its most precise science experiments to date — the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES)—to the International Space Station (ISS). This is no ...

The fabric of space and time is not exempt from the effects of gravity. Plop in a mass and space-time curves around it, not dissimilar to what happens when you put a bowling ball on a trampoline. This ...

Independent researcher and CEO of IDrive Inc., Raghu Kulkarni, has unveiled a groundbreaking framework for understanding the universe: the Selection-Stitch Model (SSM). The model suggests that ...

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

The discovery in 1998 that the Universe is expanding faster over time shook the foundations of cosmology. This finding challenged deep-seated assumptions about how space behaves on the grandest scales ...

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 ...

Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

Astronomers used a method once theorized by Albert Einstein to find a mysterious and rare planet on the edge of our galaxy. The planet, AT2021uey b, is a Jupiter-sized gas giant located about 3,200 ...
