Exactly a century ago, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger laid the foundations of an equation that would mark the history ...

In our introduction to general relativity, we explain how this theory developed, plus how it explains the motion of the planets, the history and expansion of the universe and the physics of black ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity can be summed up in just 12 words: “Space-time tells matter how to move; matter tells space-time how to curve”. But this short description from the ...

IN an attempt to treat gravitational and electromagnetic phenomena simultaneously within the framework of the special theory of relativity, it has been suggested 1 that the Maxwell-Lorentz ...

Discover how Einstein’s theory of special relativity reshaped physics by linking space, time, mass, and energy in a universe governed by the speed of light. Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of ...

The idea was first hypothesized about 70 years ago. In a bizarre repercussion of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, objects traveling close to the speed of light appear flipped over.

On 25 November 1915, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity at the Prussian Academy of Sciences. This theory is still considered to be the most important idea in modern physics.

For the first time, a mathematical framework proves that Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which explains the ...
