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

Sometimes the biggest puzzle in physics seems like the worst relationship in the universe. Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two best theories in physics, but they have never been able ...

Gravitational physics has become a truly experimental science as tests of the special and general theories of relativity reach new levels of precision Right on time When I was a first-term graduate ...

For the first time, a group of physicists has written down a warp drive concept that does not ask the universe for impossible ...

A RATHER glib distinction is often made between the two pillars of modern physics. Quantum mechanics is the physics of the very small, while general relativity is the physics of the very large. That’s ...

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...

Introduced to the world in 1915, Einstein's general theory of relativity radically changed the Newtonian model of gravity. General relativity introduced the concept of mass warping the very fabric of ...

Cormac O’Raifeartaigh reviews The Perfect Theory: a Century of Geniuses and the Battle Over General Relativity by Pedro G Ferreira Fighting it out: an artist's impression of two black holes circling ...

Yesterday, I wrote about the core concepts needed to understand quantum physics, which is one of the two pillars of modern physics. The other, of course, is the theory of relativity, the full and ...
