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

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

Albert Einstein’s mind reinvented space and time, foretelling a universe so bizarre and grand that it has challenged the limits of human imagination. An idea born in a Swiss patent office that evolved ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...

A prediction made by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity has come true as astrophysicists have detected light coming from behind a black hole. A team of scientists made the analysis ...

Researchers used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to map how nearly 6 million galaxies cluster across 11 billion years of cosmic history. Their observations line up with what Einstein's theory ...

One day, a mind-bending device called the gravity telescope might bring us visceral pictures of exoplanets far beyond our solar system. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

PARIS, FRANCE - NOVEMBER 23: Specialist in the Books and Manuscript department at Christie's, Vincent Belloy poses with the Einstein-Besso manuscript written jointly by Albert Einstein and Michele ...

Gravity causes galaxies to rotate. Astronomers can study the speed of stars at different distances from the galactic center to look for evidence for dark matter or other new physics. The majority of ...
