BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...
110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...
For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the universe. For Joseph Farah, a fifth-year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara ...
Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...
The discovery in 1998 that the Universe is expanding faster over time shook the foundations of cosmology. This finding challenged deep-seated assumptions about how space behaves on the grandest scales ...
Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire field ...

Astronomers spot a magnetar’s birth using a general relativity effect
Astronomers have identified the birth of a magnetar, a hyper-magnetized neutron star, by detecting a subtle warping of ...

Scientists see birth of one of the universe's strongest magnets, thanks to relativity 'magic trick'
Astronomers have detected strange "wobbles" in the light curve of a super bright supernova, hinting that a magnetar was born ...
In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our ...
There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”. However, Lorentz invariance – the theory that the same rules of physics apply ...
Born in Ülm, Germany in 1879, Einstein is generally described as having been withdrawn and slow to respond in his early years. Often he quietly sat by himself putting together shapes cut out with a ...
