Astronomers have identified a potential ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds close to Sagittarius A*, the ...

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity to its toughest test yet.

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 ...

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

Physicists artificially slowed down time to reveal the bizarre Terrell-Penrose effect, a consequence of special relativity. This image from the experiment shows a sphere seemingly moving at 99.9 ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

Albert Einstein might be astonished to learn that NASA physicists have applied his relativity theory to a concept he introduced but later disliked namely that two particles that interact could ...

It was co-written with his lifelong friend, the Swiss engineer Michele Besso. LONDON -- A rare manuscript by Albert Einstein that changed the course of modern science was just sold for over 13.3 ...

An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...

Since 1915 when Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity, scientists have worked on testing its limits, and with the results of this 16-year test, it still holds up. Professor ...
