A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

A new solution to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests hypothetical gravitational stars that look like black holes could be nested within one another. When you purchase through ...

The theory of special relativity explains how space and time are linked for objects that are moving at a consistent speed in a straight line. One of its most famous aspects concerns objects moving at ...

Scientists at The University of Manchester have discovered a new way to test Einstein's theory of relativity using the 'lead' of a pencil. Until now it was only possible to test the theory by building ...

One of the most stubborn problems in physics today is the fact that our two best theories to explain the Universe – general relativity and quantum mechanics – function perfectly well on their own, but ...

In 1915, Germany introduced chlorine gas into the ongoing horror that was World War I. It was the war to end all wars, bringing devastation that would scar a generation. But one man’s mind continued ...
