Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has seemingly confirmed Einstein's general relativity by exhibiting gravitational lensing as it neared the Sun. However, the observed light bending exceeded predictions by ...

Two recently observed black hole mergers, occurring just weeks apart in late 2024, have opened an extraordinary new window ...

In this video, we explore Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, focusing on his insights into gravity and ...

Some time travel movies totally miss the mark and create plot holes, while others get the science absolutely right.

Spacetime isn’t something that exists; it’s a model for describing how events happen. Treating events as objects creates philosophical confusion and fuels misconceptions, such as time-travel paradoxes ...

What if time isn't fundamental at all? Physicist Carlo Rovelli reveals how modern physics, from relativity to quantum gravity, has gradually erased time from its equations. In it ...

It’s an arbitrary and preternaturally vexing dividing line between Illinois on Central time and Michigan on Eastern time.

Another interesting consequence of relativity is that as time stretches out at high speeds, distances diminish. It’s hard to ...

The theoretical physicist and best-selling author finds inspiration in politics and philosophy for rethinking space and time.

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the ...

Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object ...

In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation for modern geometry and physics.
