Delivering the Badash Lecture, historian Matthew Stanley discusses the post-war healing effect of Einstein’s theory of general relativity Albert Einstein’s ascent to worldwide celebrity was, in large ...

To mark the centennial of Albert Einstein's breakthrough year of 1905, during which he published his theories of special relativity, the photoelectric effect and molecular motion, the UC Davis ...

They were ideas that, at the time, physics did not have answers for. Years later, in 1915, Einstein presented his General Theory of Relativity.

Einstein’s general theory of relativity can be summed up in just 12 words: “Space-time tells matter how to move; matter tells space-time how to curve”. But this short description from the ...

General relativity works well for large-scale objects, while quantum physics accurately describes microscopic phenomena, but what’s the need to unite them? Well, there are two big reasons for that.

General relativity has withstood perhaps its toughest challenge to date. The theory, which Albert Einstein published in 1916, revolutionized our understanding of physics and the cosmos.

A team of scientists claims a computational tool for studying black hole collisions could be our best bet for answering mysterious questions about the universe’s origins. In a new paper in Living ...

Explore recent advancements in testing general relativity, revealing intriguing insights into deviations from established theories.

During the eclipse, astronomers will reproduce the 1919 experiment that confirmed Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

A new theory suggests that the unification between quantum physics and general relativity has eluded scientists for 100 years because huge "fluctuations" in space and time mean that gravity won't ...

The Event Horizon Telescope’s iconic image of the black hole at the center of galaxy M87 once again shows Einstein was right.
