The faster you move, the stranger time becomes. By imagining how light travels to two people moving at different speeds, Einstein showed that time isn’t absolute. His thought experiment revealed that ...

Professor Pan and his team recreated Einstein's thought experiment to demonstrate how the quantum world actually works.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. When it comes to a science like physics, theoretical expectations must ...

To understand gravity, Einstein had to rethink space and time as a single connected fabric. He showed that mass bends this fabric, guiding how everything moves. NOVA is available to stream on pbs.org ...

An international research team including astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn determined with extremely high precision that gravity causes neutron stars and ...

Astrophysicist Goldsmith and science journalist Bartusiak (Einstein's Unfinished Symphony) have gathered 21 previously published pieces by an all-star cast, including Stephen Hawking, Owen Gingerich, ...

For perhaps the hundredth time, I try to think like Einstein. A burst of light is seen by two observers: one stationary on a platform, the other moving in a train. Assume the speed of light is the ...
