There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”. However, Lorentz invariance – the theory that the same rules of physics apply ...

If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster than on Earth thanks to the Theory of Relativity. It's only 477 millionths ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new study shows how future high-resolution black hole images could test gravity at its limits and reveal whether Einstein’s ...

The earliest test of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity took place just four years after he published it. During the May 29, 1919, total solar eclipse, British astronomer Sir Arthur ...

At the current resolution of telescopes, black holes predicted by different theories of gravity still look very similar. Future telescopes will make the differences more visible, making it possible to ...

The U.S. stock market continues to absorb its knocks, whether geopolitical, credit-linked or trade-induced, and sits at record highs. Any dips continue to be bought as investors bet on lower interest ...

How stocks perform in relation to others is important when crafting a portfolio. The U.S. stock market continues to absorb its knocks, whether geopolitical, credit-linked or trade-induced, and sits at ...

Tiny “Ferris wheels” made from light and extremely cold particles could allow researchers to test a facet of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity on unprecedentedly small scales. Theories of special ...

In Interstellar, Miller’s planet orbits close to the black hole Gargantua, where gravity is so strong that time runs much slower. This is gravitational time dilation, a prediction of Einstein’s ...
