Imagine a juggler tossing balls into the air. The art of juggling is a dance between motion and pause, where the ball’s speed ...
So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...
Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...
Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...
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 ...
The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...
There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.
Before a beginners’ physics class at St. Louis’ Washington University, Assistant Professor Edward Lambe plugged in an electric device that shot pennies at a metal disk a few feet away. The pennies ...
