When an object moves extremely fast—close to the speed of light—certain basic assumptions that we take for granted no longer ...

A bold new theory could bridge quantum physics and gravity at last. At Aalto University in Finland, two physicists believe ...

This is no ordinary clock — it’s a highly precise instrument built to put Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity to the test. ACES will measure time with unmatched accuracy ...

Machine learning helped show how harnessing the weird effects of Einstein’s special relativity could enable a new kind of ...

IN an attempt to treat gravitational and electromagnetic phenomena simultaneously within the framework of the special theory of relativity, it has been suggested 1 that the Maxwell-Lorentz ...

Exactly 100 years ago, famed Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (yes, the cat guy) postulated his eponymous equation that ...

Einstein received the Nobel Prize for one of the other ideas, but the special theory of relativity has since become the most well-known, perhaps of his career or even the entire field of physics!
