A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

The first image of a black hole, captured in 2019, has revealed more support for Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. The new finding has suggested his theory is now 500 times harder to ...

This mind-bending relativity illusion has never been seen—until now ...

First of all, the prevailing quantum theory, quantum field theory, is fully relativistic from the onset. Relativity is “built into” the theory, so to speak. And it’s the only quantum theory that is ...

Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity is one of the most significant scientific advances of our time. The concept of relativity was not introduced by Einstein, but he was a major contributor with the ...

A rare manuscript featuring early calculations that led to Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity sold for just over $13 million at an auction in Paris Tuesday, becoming the most expensive ...

In 1915, Albert Einstein put forth a new theory of gravity: General Relativity. Instead of every mass in the Universe instantly reaching across to every other mass and exerting an attractive force, ...

Albert Einstein is unquestionably one of the greatest scientists to ever live. He’s responsible for likely the most well-known equation of all time, and decades after his death, his work is still a ...

Einstein's theory of relativity reveals that gravity is a bending of space. One of the predictions of the theory is that two closely orbiting astronomical bodies will lose energy by a phenomenon ...
