Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover the physics of nothing, everything, and the stuff in between. The majority of astronomers believe they have a broad ...

There is no denying the awesome predictive power of Albert Einstein's 1915 theory of gravity, general relativity — yet, the theory still has inconsistencies when it comes to calculating its effect on ...

Albert Einstein’s mind reinvented space and time, foretelling a universe so bizarre and grand that it has challenged the limits of human imagination. An idea born in a Swiss patent office that evolved ...

Physicists have made the most realistic calculations yet of what a cyclist would look like if moving at close to the speed of light — the scenario in a classic thought experiment of special relativity ...

THE new Einstein 1 theory is mathematically attractive; but its role in science can only be established through the conclusions that can be drawn from it. Einstein himself hopes that his new theory ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been remarkably successful in describing the gravity of stars and planets, but it doesn’t seem to apply perfectly on all scales. When you purchase ...

As 24-cent copies of Albert Einstein’s abstruse “Coherent Field Theory” reached the U. S. last week, the man himself, his wife and a daughter plodded about Wannsee, simply hunting rooms at that lake ...

A rare manuscript with notes made by Albert Einstein was auctioned for more than $13 million. They contain the early calculations that eventually became Einstein's general theory of relativity.

A prediction made by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity has come true as astrophysicists have detected light coming from behind a black hole. A team of scientists made the analysis ...

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 ...
