Albert Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to theoretical physics and his discovery of ...

Time is not the same everywhere in space. On Mars, it flows on average 477 microseconds more each Earth day (24h) than on ...

Scientists detect a 20-day wobble from a star-shredding black hole, confirming spacetime twisting predicted by Einstein.

An artist's impression depicts the accretion disc surrounding a black hole, in which the inner region of the disc wobbles. In ...

For the first time, a group of physicists is arguing that a warp drive is not just a mathematical curiosity but something ...

Clocks tick faster on Mars than they do on Earth, in part because Mars experiences less gravitational pull from the Sun. Now scientists have calculated just how much faster -- 477 microseconds, on ...

A new warp-drive study proposes a novel segmented design that brings hyper-fast space travel one step closer to becoming a ...

Learn how researchers used Einstein’s theory of general relativity to create the most accurate simulations to date.

A new study by researchers at the University of Amsterdam shows how gravitational waves from black holes can be used to ...

The Dark Forest theory is one proposed solution to the famed Fermi Paradox, which has bewitched astronomers for more than half a century. To put it concisely, the paradox asks if the cosmos is nearly ...

On Earth, knowing the time feels simple. Your phone pings the same second as a GPS satellite and an atomic clock in a lab.

This temporal lag is a direct consequence of Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. The rule is simple: the weaker ...
