Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. General relativity states that gravity is the result of mass warping the fabric of space and ...

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 ...

Relativity Space said Wednesday that it had received its launch license from U.S. regulators, clearing the way for its first-ever orbital flight attempt on March 8. Relativity will be attempting to ...

“The chief attraction of the theory lies in its logical completeness,” wrote Albert Einstein after publishing his general theory of relativity in 1915. “If a single one of the conclusions drawn from ...

In the gloomy days of January, time seems to drag. According to the Einstein theory of relativity, it actually does—in a minute amount that means little to anyone except a scientist. During its annual ...

AS MUCH AS we may want to, we cannot go back in time. Is this just our current reality, or is the direction of time fixed by the laws of the universe? One clue to explain this “arrow” of time is the ...

This is an example of time dilation, a consequence of the idea that time and space are not absolute - meaning all observers do not always measure these quantities as the same. In everyday life we use ...

Thanks to Albert Einstein, the US Government wants to establish an official time zone for the Moon. It has less to do with jet lag and more to do with how gravity affects time and can throw a lot of ...

Besides quantum mechanics, another interesting topic in physics is relativity. Let’s take a look at it! Of all the force fields, the gravitational field is the one man has known for the longest time.

From what we know about No Man’s Sky, aging won’t be a source of in-game anxiety. Although characters can definitely die and the universe is big enough to explore into one’s dotage, the archbishop won ...
