Many theories are rock-solid: Scientists have just as much confidence in the theories of relativity, quantum mechanics, ...

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 ...

Few ideas in modern science have reshaped our understanding of reality more profoundly than space-time—the interwoven fabric of space and time at the heart of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.

Brad DeLong, in the course of something completely different, suggests that the theory of relativity really isn't all that hard. At least, if your standard of comparison is quantum mechanics. He's ...

Stephan Hawking’s theory of black hole area has finally been confirmed after years of debate in the scientific community. The ...

According to Newtonian physics, the gravitational attraction between two masses is proportional to the inverse of the square ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

Solar eclipses occasion lots of excitement and pique the public's interest in astronomical phenomena. Eclipses can also expand our understanding of the universe in profound ways. In fact, astronomical ...

Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed ...

A team of scientists claims a computational tool for studying black hole collisions could be our best bet for answering ...

While the title makes this sound very science-based, this is still a financial planning article. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of the theory of financial relativity, as it was made up while I was ...
