Albert Einstein was well known for his thought experiments involving complex scientific ideas. Often he used real-world examples that helped non-scientists grasp his theories of relativity. He started ...

The faster you move, the stranger time becomes. By imagining how light travels to two people moving at different speeds, Einstein showed that time isn’t absolute. His thought experiment revealed that ...

'No understanding of or interest in modern physics': Einstein (pictured) was criticised by Oppenheimer - Library of Congress/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images Viewers of Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-hoovering ...

To understand gravity, Einstein had to rethink space and time as a single connected fabric. He showed that mass bends this fabric, guiding how everything moves. NOVA is available to stream on pbs.org ...

But what if Einstein’s theory of relativity offers a different perspective? What if our inner world, like space-time, is ...

When two massive black holes slammed into each other earlier this year, astronomers were able to observe it in the clearest ...

Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically. That's why he said that great scientists were also artists. Einstein first described his intuitive thought processes at a physics ...

For perhaps the hundredth time, I try to think like Einstein. A burst of light is seen by two observers: one stationary on a platform, the other moving in a train. Assume the speed of light is the ...

Gravitational waves are known disturbances in the fabric of space-time caused a variety of sources, including supermassive black holes, stellar-mass black holes, neutron stars, pulsars, supernova, and ...

There is a revolutionary new method of mapping RNA that was invented in China, which could reveal the mysteries of some of ...
