By itself, the new formula probably would have been worthy of publication in a scientific journal. But it would be far better to create a realistic experiment using the formula to test general ...

For the first time, a mathematical framework proves that Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which explains the relationship between space, time, and gravity, is in alignment with quantum ...

Instead, general relativity's birth was more chaotic, involving a handful of lectures, manuscripts, and more than one parent. One hundred years ago this fall, that harrowing labor occupied almost ...

General relativity (GR) is the geometrical theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915. It unifies special relativity and Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation with the ...

If general relativity matched LIGO's measurements when pi was not close to its true figure, that would be a sign that the theory was only half-baked.

The nature of gravity 2015 marks 100 years since the publication of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Learn the basics of Einstein's theory of relativity in our infographic here.

To that end, another theoretical idea that emerged from general relativity in 2001 is the concept of "gravastars," or compact bodies with dark energy cores. Dark energy is the force that appears ...

According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity results from how mass warps space and time. The greater an object's mass, the stronger its gravitational pull. Scientists have largely ...

When the first-ever image of a black hole was released in April 2019, it marked a powerful confirmation of Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, or general relativity. The theory not only ...

If general relativity matched LIGO's measurements when pi was not close to its true figure, that would be a sign that the theory was only half-baked.
