Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that ...

Special relativity could be harnessed to build a novel quantum computer, and creating it this way could let us use machine learning to deepen our understanding of the quantum realm. Albert Einstein’s ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity has been wildly successful at describing how gravity works and how it shapes the large-scale structure of the universe. It’s summed up in a saying by the ...

Recent advancements in observational techniques have led to the capture of high-resolution images of black hole shadows, which are challenging the completeness of Einstein’s general theory of ...

Gravity doesn’t discriminate. An experiment in orbit has confirmed, with precision a hundred times greater than previous efforts, that everything falls the same way under the influence of gravity. The ...

New research could help scientists use gravitational lensing — the warping of light from distant galaxies — to investigate the accelerating expansion of the universe. When you purchase through links ...

Valerio Faraoni receives funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Andrea Giusti received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation ...

Learn how researchers used Einstein’s theory of general relativity to create the most accurate simulations to date. Think of a black hole, and you might imagine a literal dark hole, but contrary to ...
