There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.

On May 29, 1919, a total solar eclipse helped to prove Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. Einstein's theory suggested that gravity could bend light by curving the fabric of spacetime. To ...

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity has passed its toughest test with flying colors, a new study reports. General relativity, which Einstein proposed in 1916, holds that gravity is a consequence ...

The rapid acceleration of the universe’s expansion continues to challenge our understanding of fundamental physics. Why the universe is expanding faster and faster remains one of the most intriguing ...
