He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on gravitational waves, which helped confirm Einstein’s general theory of ...

Renowned experimental physicist, Nobel laureate and Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Emeritus Rainer Weiss, ...

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single ...

As theories go, general relativity has been a great success. Most famously, its early approximate solutions accounted for a well-known discrepancy in the orbit of the planet Mercury that could not be ...

Sifting through the noise of space is no easy task, even for astrophysicists. But a new grant from the National Science ...

Gravitational physics has become a truly experimental science as tests of the special and general theories of relativity reach new levels of precision Right on time When I was a first-term graduate ...

Quantum entanglement, a bewildering phenomenon where particles become interconnected regardless of the distance separating ...

THIS monograph collects, in 87 pages, those deductions of the results of relativity theory that find most frequent application in physics. The applications of special relativity to kinematics ...

This week, researchers pinned down the age of a complete Homo-genus skull found in Greece in 1960 to at least 286,000 years ...

Quantum physics and relativity theory get along just fine in most respects. Not always, but… First of all, the prevailing quantum theory, quantum field theory, is fully relativistic from the onset.

For centuries, science has pushed the boundaries of our understanding, from exploring vast galaxies to diving into the ...
