To understand gravity, Einstein had to rethink space and time as a single connected fabric. He showed that mass bends this fabric, guiding how everything moves. NOVA is available to stream on pbs.org ...

When LIGO detected gravitational waves unleashed from two colliding black holes for the first time in science history, it set off a whole new era in astronomy.

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 ...

'No understanding of or interest in modern physics': Einstein (pictured) was criticised by Oppenheimer - Library of Congress/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images Viewers of Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-hoovering ...

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

In a landmark achievement, astronomers have noticed light bending in an unexpected manner, one that doesn’t align with the predictions made by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This ...

Albert Einstein called compound interest the "8th wonder." Learn how this simple wealth-building tool can double your money - ...

Gravitational waves are known disturbances in the fabric of space-time caused a variety of sources, including supermassive black holes, stellar-mass black holes, neutron stars, pulsars, supernova, and ...

Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically. That's why he said that great scientists were also artists. Einstein first described his intuitive thought processes at a physics ...

For perhaps the hundredth time, I try to think like Einstein. A burst of light is seen by two observers: one stationary on a platform, the other moving in a train. Assume the speed of light is the ...

The blackboard, used by the physicist during a University of Nottingham guest lecture, is said to be one of only three ...
