General relativity, also known as the general theory of relativity, is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915 and the current description of gravitation in modern ...

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 ...
The applicability of Newton’s law of gravitation in the context of cosmic structure formation has been discussed extensively in the recent literature 6,7,8. In particular, it is now well understood ...
Using an atom interferometer, scientists have tested one of the foundations of Einstein's general theory of relativity: that time slows down in a gravitational field. Their experiment proves that ...
Theoretical physicists have proposed a potential solution to one of the most puzzling problems in modern physics: the black hole singularity paradox. By modifying Einstein's theory of general ...
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In 1913, Albert Einstein had stalled in his efforts to construct his ...
This month the world is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, which shaped our concepts of space, time and gravity, and spurred generations of scientists ...
