Few ideas in modern science have reshaped our understanding of reality more profoundly than space-time—the interwoven fabric ...

Science has constantly pushed the boundaries of what we know, from exploring galaxies to examining subatomic particles. But ...

“I am most excited about using numerical relativity to explore how the Big Bang began, and how it can be used to solve some ...

He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on gravitational waves, which helped confirm Einstein’s general theory of ...

Researchers are using supercomputer simulations grounded in Einstein’s relativity to test scenarios about what may have ...

Space-Time’s Fatal Flaws Karl Schwarzschild first discovered an arrangement of space-time with a singularity in 1916, just months after Einstein published general relativity. The bizarre features of ...

The review shows how numerical relativity transforms cosmology, replacing shortcuts with full simulations of Einstein’s ...

A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity ...

The entangled clocks can test how quantum theory behaves in the presence of curved space-time as predicted by Einstein, or whether our current theories break down. Hoboken, N.J., July 14, 2025 ...

Molina-Niñirola added that many physicists believe that, when gravity becomes exceptionally strong and space-time is highly warped, general relativity must be replaced by a more fundamental theory.

Notably, relativity posits that space-time must be continuous: You can look at arbitrarily small distances and never find a gap in it. In quantum mechanics, however, it becomes meaningless to talk ...

This week, researchers pinned down the age of a complete Homo-genus skull found in Greece in 1960 to at least 286,000 years ...
