For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

Contemporary physics has learned to describe the universe with unprecedented precision. Yet when it tries to say what time is, it stumbles again and ...

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 ...

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 ...

When black holes collide, the impact radiates into space like the sound of a bell in the form of gravitational waves. But ...

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 ...
