Disclaimer: I am very much a physics noob. This might be a nonsensical question. That spacetime can be curved or warped is something I can grasp, but I keep getting stuck on one specific aspect of how ...

In a dual set of papers published in Science last week, an international group of researchers presented an experiment which used relativistic time dilation to measure the curvature of spacetime. The ...

As one star spins another out of view for the next century and a half, astronomers use it to weight an incredible binary system. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

In a laboratory experiment, researchers have succeeded in realizing an effective spacetime that can be manipulated. In their research on ultracold quantum gases, they were able to simulate an entire ...

I've been trying to explain quantum physics, forces, relativity, and space-time to my kid and we had a question that I'm finding difficult to find a solid answer to. Background you can skip if you ...

A paper appeared in Classical and Quantum Gravity. Co-author, Associate Professor of the Department of Relativity Theory and Gravity of KFU Alexei Zayats explains, "Light is distributed linearly in ...
