Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...

Disclaimer: I am very much a physics noob. This might be a nonsensical question. That spacetime can be curved or warped is something I can grasp, but I keep getting stuck on one specific aspect of how ...

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

In 1797, English scientist Henry Cavendish measured the strength of gravity with a contraption made of lead spheres, wooden rods and wire. In the 21st century, scientists are doing something very ...

In a dual set of papers published in Science last week, an international group of researchers presented an experiment which used relativistic time dilation to measure the curvature of spacetime. The ...

When a physicist runs the numbers on a black hole passing through a human body, the result is not a cinematic vaporization but a precise, almost clinical portrait of how gravity would pull a person ...

(Nanowerk News) According to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, space and time are inextricably connected. In our Universe, whose curvature is barely measurable, the structure of this spacetime is fixed ...

Einstein's general theory of relativity, published in 1915, relates spacetime curvature to matter distribution, leading to the Schwarzschild solution describing a black hole. The Schwarzschild ...

A paper appeared in Classical and Quantum Gravity. Co-author, Associate Professor of the Department of Relativity Theory and Gravity of KFU Alexei Zayats explains, "Light is distributed linearly in ...
