In Interstellar, Miller’s planet orbits close to the black hole Gargantua, where gravity is so strong that time runs much ...

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 ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Planets that orbit white dwarf stars should be too hot to host alien life, theories suggest. But a new study accounting for ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity views time similarly to width, height, and length. As such, both time and space can be curved by gravity. This effectively means that time is slower the closer ...

For over a century, Einstein's general theory of relativity has been key to understanding gravity. But new research suggests this theory "glitches" in the farthest reaches of space. That doesn't mean ...

The MICROSCOPE mission tested the weak equivalence principle with free-falling objects in a satellite. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Journal for General Philosophy of Science / Zeitschrift für allgemeine Wissenschaftstheorie, Vol. 50, No. 1 (March 2019), pp. 13-27 (15 pages) In a way similar to classical mechanics where we have the ...

An illustration conveying the idea of a space-based quantum internet, which would seem, like the hypothetical particle of a tachyon, to outpace light. An illustration ...

While the title makes this sound very science-based, this is still a financial planning article. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of the theory of financial relativity, as it was made up while I was ...
