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 ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths ...

“Using newer mathematical tools, my colleague and I have demonstrated a new theory that may accurately describe the universe.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Two cutting-edge atomic clocks — the most accurate ever ...

The big thinkers at Aperture explain relativity and how it warps the fabric of spacetime. Experts warn the internet will go down in a big way — and you'd better be ready ...

When black holes collide, the impact radiates into space like the sound of a bell in the form of gravitational waves. But ...

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 ...

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 ...

Astronomers have observed a star wobbling in its orbit around a ravenous supermassive black hole that is ripping it apart and feasting on its stellar material. The observation is ...
