The gravitational lensing that causes this rare phenomenon cannot be explained solely by looking at observable ...

University of Adelaide applied mathematicians have extended Einstein’s theory of special relativity to work beyond the speed of light. Einstein’s theory holds that nothing could move faster than the ...

One hundred years ago today, Albert Einstein finished a scientific paper that would change the world. His radical insight into the nature of light would help transform Einstein from an unknown patent ...

A group of astronomers has uncovered a rare celestial configuration that’s rewriting what we know about how dark matter ...

The rapid expansion of the universe has been the most perplexing enigma in physics. To unravel this cosmic puzzle, scientists turn to the fundamental laws of physics, including Albert Einstein's ...

The universe rarely fails to amaze. One of its latest surprises—nicknamed the “Einstein zig-zag”—reveals a stunning arrangement of galaxies and a distant quasar. Together, they produce a gravitational ...

This editorial is from the Chicago Tribune: f the speed of light is a constant in the universe, as Albert Einstein famously predicted, then so is this: Researchers always will try to prove Einstein ...

An Einstein Ring was discovered by the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope in September 2023. Space telescope finds rare 'Einstein Ring' of light in nearby galaxy A rare ring of light ...

Everything in the universe has gravity – and feels it too. Yet this most common of all fundamental forces is also the one that presents the biggest challenges to physicists. Albert Einstein’s theory ...

Like Max Planck, Albert Einstein first studied mathematics because he was told that everything interesting in physics had already been discovered. But in 1905, Einstein, a young cleark at the Swiss ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been remarkably successful in describing the gravity of stars and planets, but it doesn’t seem to apply perfectly on all scales. When you purchase ...
