Astronomers have identified the birth of a magnetar, a hyper-magnetized neutron star, by detecting a subtle warping of space-time predicted by Einstein’s general relativity. The discovery came from ...

Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. General relativity states that gravity is the result of mass warping the fabric of space and ...

A spacecraft traveling at 99 percent the speed of light toward Alpha Centauri would cross 4.3 light-years in what feels like ...

For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the ...

Thanks to Albert Einstein, the US Government wants to establish an official time zone for the Moon. It has less to do with jet lag and more to do with how gravity affects time and can throw a lot of ...
