An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...

Like Max Planck, Albert Einstein first studied mathematics because he was told that everything interesting in physics had already been discovered. But in 1905, Einstein, a young cleark at the Swiss ...

It was co-written with his lifelong friend, the Swiss engineer Michele Besso. LONDON -- A rare manuscript by Albert Einstein that changed the course of modern science was just sold for over 13.3 ...

Albert Einstein’s name is synonymous with “genius,” and his wild hair is a trope of its own for mad scientists and professors in popular culture. Einstein’s discoveries led to modern-day inventions ...

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 ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Michelson's interference experiment / by H.A. Lorentz -- Electromagnetic phenomena in a system moving with any velocity less than that of light / by H.A. Lorentz -- On the electrodynamics of moving ...

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...

Dennis G. Hall was formerly Vice Provost for Research, Dean of the Graduate School, Professor of Physics and Professor of Electrical Engineering at Vanderbilt University. For at least forty years, ...

A rare 54-page manuscript featuring preliminary calculations for Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity sold for about $13 million at auction in Paris Tuesday to an unknown buyer — almost four ...
