More than a century later, scientists are still proving Albert Einstein right. The famed physicist’s revolutionary general theory of relativity debuted in 1915, positing that gravity can be ...

In 1905, a 26-year-old patent clerk named Albert Einstein looked at the universe and discovered that time was not what we thought it was. It was not linear. For centuries, everyone assumed the same ...

One of the most basic assumptions of fundamental physics is that the different properties of mass—weight, inertia and gravitation—always remain the same in relation to each other. Without this ...

More than a century after Albert Einstein first transformed our understanding of gravity, his general theory of relativity ...

BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts that a rotating mass like the Earth pulls the fabric of space and ...

Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University and director of Columbia’s Center for Theoretical Physics, is the author of “The Elegant Universe” and “Until the End of ...

Although Einstein’s Theory of Relativity is typically associated with really large and really heavy things like planets in ...

Einstein’s theory of gravity — general relativity — has been very successful for more than a century. However, it has theoretical shortcomings. This is not surprising: the theory predicts its own ...
