General relativity (GR) is the geometrical theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915. It unifies special relativity and Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation with the ...

Monday and Thursday 12–14 in M4. After a quick introduction to Special Relativity (mechanics and electrodynamics at a finite speed of light, mathematically modelled with a quadratic form of signature ...

The applicability of Newton’s law of gravitation in the context of cosmic structure formation has been discussed extensively in the recent literature 6,7,8. In particular, it is now well understood ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. The question of gravity is, of course, a tricky one for Earth-bound ...

All observations in astronomy are based on light (electromagnetic radiation) emitted from stars and galaxies and, according to the general theory of relativity, the light will be affected by gravity.

If you thought regular black holes were about as weird and mysterious as space gets, think again, because for the first time, physicists have successfully simulated what would happen to black holes in ...
