Decades ago, a renegade physicist suggested that gravity isn't so much a force as just a byproduct of the universe's tendency ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) is a physics framework that describes how particles and forces behave based on principles rooted ...

In 1919, a total solar eclipse allowed scientists to confirm Einstein’s theory of general relativity by observing how the sun’s gravity bent starlight. This discovery revolutionized physics and made ...

When a German physicist returned from a health retreat 100 years ago, his ideas sparked a debate about reality, and gave rise ...

Just recently, physicists at MIT conducted an experiment using incredible atomic precision. Interestingly, it has definitively resolved a long-standing debate between quantum giants Albert Einstein ...

The imaginations of scientists and sci-fi lovers have just been stimulated with the news that a warp drive is being studied ...

Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go ...

The mind-bending concept of time dilation results from a seemingly harmless assumption—that the speed of light is the same ...

Predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916 as a consequence of his general theory of relativity, they were dismissed even by Einstein himself as too faint to ever be detected. For nearly a century, they ...

Before Albert Einstein died, he explicitly stated that he didn't want to be studied. But mere hours after his death, the doctor performing his autopsy took his brain — without the permission of the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched in 2022, continues to reshape how we view the cosmos. Designed to look deeper into space and further back in time than any previous instrument, it has ...
