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 ...

If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster ...

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

The passage of time is fundamental to the theory of relativity: how you realize it, how you calculate it, and what influences it,” said Bijunath Patla, a physicist at the National Institute of ...

The study was published on Wednesday, December 10, in the journal Science Advances.

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

Astronomers have observed a star wobbling in its orbit around a ravenous supermassive black hole that is ripping it apart and ...

"By understanding quantum gravity, we could solve some of the mysteries of our universe — like how it began, what happens inside black holes, or uniting all forces into one big theory." When you ...

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 ...
