Explore the key moments in the history of quantum theory, from the early ideas of Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg to ...

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has released new breakthrough findings on one of science’s biggest mysteries — one that Albert Einstein once called his “biggest blunder.” In March, Berkeley Lab ...

One of the first verified predictions of general relativity is the gravitational deflection of starlight. The effect was first observed in 1919 during a total solar eclipse. Since stars appear as ...

During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String ...

A stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals a cosmic mirage known as an Einstein ring, where the light ...

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning photograph of an Einstein ring. The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) shared this unusual sighting to the public ...

So much so that the cosmic phenomenon is called an "Einstein ring." Einstein rings happen when light from one distant object is bent around the mass of another, slightly closer and even larger object.

Einstein’s question, in effect, added a complication to Galileo’s imagery: What if the object descending from the top of the mast wasn’t a rock but a beam of light? His choice wasn’t ...

This week, researchers reported on nine rivers and lakes in the Americas that defy hydrologic expectations. Geologists report ...

As you approach the speed of light, space and time begin to warp in ways that defy everyday logic. According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, time slows down dramatically for fast-moving objects - ...
