Get ready for a journey that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the laws of physics. In 1967, ...

What exactly is gravity, and how does it work? From Newton’s early groundbreaking discoveries to Einstein’s revolutionary ...

Einstein's theory posits that mass distorts space. This distortion can bend light from distant objects. Astronomers use this ...

When light from a distant object, like a quasar or galaxy, passes by a massive object, it bends. The amount of bending matches how strong the gravitational field is, not just how much visible ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. Comments (0) ...

Sir Isaac Newton first observed the gravitational bending of light (GBL) in the 17th century, and Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity confirmed it in 1915.

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity—which explains gravity as the product of the distortion of space and time—may not be universally applicable. This is the conclusion of physicists ...

We usually describe them using the theory of general relativity, where black holes appear as solutions to Einstein's equations," research lead author and University of Sussex theoretical physicist ...

The theory of special relativity is rife with counterintuitive and surprising effects, the most famous of which are length contraction and time dilation. If an object travels at a relative speed ...
