After watching that, I joked with a friend that the gravity we feel every day is actually a result of space-time being ...

“Using newer mathematical tools, my colleague and I have demonstrated a new theory that may accurately describe the universe.

Today, let's talk about something mysterious and really cool — the ideas that old man Einstein came up with over a hundred years ago are now actually becoming visible! Isn't that strange?

In October 2015, a young mathematician named Clemens Sämann was flying home to Austria from a conference in Turin, Italy, when he had a chance encounter. He found himself seated beside Michael ...

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity—which explains gravity as the product of the distortion of space and time—may not be universally applicable. This is the conclusion of physicists from ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity views time similarly to width, height, and length. As such, both time and space can be curved by gravity. This effectively means that time is slower the closer ...

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 ...

Out on a remote tract of land in Hingoli district of Maharashtra, well away from busy towns and cities, work is on to set up ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense." A team of scientists has developed a recipe for ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

Science fiction is full of amazing space phenomena. Some of those phenomena have gone from theory to reality — like black holes and pulsars. But what about wormholes? These portals through space are ...
