The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

Last week, we touched upon E=mc2, and how Einstein’s theory of relativity turned the world of physics upside-down. Now, we’re using that theory to show why the very concept of time may not be what you ...

In a dual set of papers published in Science last week, an international group of researchers presented an experiment which used relativistic time dilation to measure the curvature of spacetime. The ...

We’re all too familiar with the inexorable march of time, but why exactly it flows in one direction remains a mystery of physics. A few years ago Australian physicist Joan Vaccaro proposed a new ...

Research published recently in the journal Nature Communications considers the influence of the quantum mechanics concept of superposition on timekeeping. Superposition refers to the ability of an ...

On November 6, 2025, a remarkable breakthrough in quantum physics was announced that could potentially revolutionize space exploration. This discovery, centered around a subtle loophole in quantum ...

A pair of scientists from the UK recently published a pre-print research paper discussing the theory of a universe with no beginning. Imagine it: our universe has always existed. The Big Bang either ...

Time dilation, a real phenomenon, means astronauts can age more slowly than people on Earth during high-speed space travel.

Cool research story with connections to atomic clocks, Einstein and quantum mechanics. The research shows the 'spooky' interference that can impact even the most sophisticated clocks. A phenomenon of ...

From what we know about No Man’s Sky, aging won’t be a source of in-game anxiety. Although characters can definitely die and the universe is big enough to explore into one’s dotage, the archbishop won ...
