"Nobody knew that before. It improves our knowledge of the theory itself, the theory of how clocks tick and relativity. The passage of time is fundamental to the theory of relativity: how you realize ...

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

“The chief attraction of the theory lies in its logical completeness,” wrote Albert Einstein after publishing his general theory of relativity in 1915. “If a single one of the conclusions drawn from ...

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 ...

Everyone knows Albert Einstein was a genius, but can you explain what he’s famous for? Arguably his foremost theory, his general theory of relativity, turns 100 years old this week. It was actually ...

First of all, the prevailing quantum theory, quantum field theory, is fully relativistic from the onset. Relativity is “built into” the theory, so to speak. And it’s the only quantum theory that is ...

In many universes, typically those on TV shows or in movies, time travel is not much more difficult than driving downtown in any major city during rush hour. Sure, the traffic can get gnarly, but no ...
