Gravity doesn’t discriminate. An experiment in orbit has confirmed, with precision a hundred times greater than previous efforts, that everything falls the same way under the influence of gravity. The ...

Decades in the making, a space probe that delves into Albert Einstein's general theory of gravitation remains grounded on Earth, caught in its own space-time continuum of technical snags, costly ...

In another verification of the validity of Einstein's theory of general relativity scientists have used two finely tuned optical lattice clocks to make new ultra-precise measurements of the time ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. When it comes to a science like physics, theoretical expectations must ...

(Inside Science) — Just six years ago, scientists with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, in Louisiana and Washington measured a unique undulating signal when the ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

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 ...

You've probably heard this sort of claim before: Einstein made a prediction, usually with general relativity, and we're just now getting around to testing it. It's a slightly misleading idea, since ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The Matter of Everything tells the history of physics through experiments. Any book about the history of science for a general audience ...

The tiny bots follow patterns of light and "artificial space-time," navigating like craft following the curved space around a black hole.
