A South Korean physicist has proposed a theoretical framework that could support the unification of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity, the two pillars of modern physics. This new ...

A peer-reviewed paper published in The European Physical Journal C presents a modification to Einstein’s general relativity ...

Now it seems that wormholes, those shortcut tunnels through time and space that Albert Einstein theorized and that science fiction depicts as portals between two distant galactic points, are at the ...

A BLACK HOLE discovery led scientists to call for a new theory to explain what happens at the centre of these cosmic anomalies, with one scientist pointing to the possibility that "Einstein's theory ...

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 ...
