If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. A new recipe for gravity could help ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity can be summed up in just 12 words: “Space-time tells matter how to move; matter tells space-time how to curve”. But this short description from the ...

On 25 November 1915, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity at the Prussian Academy of Sciences. This theory is still considered to be the most important idea in modern physics.

Albert Einstein is arguably the most influential scientist of the 20th century. His general theory of relativity changed our understanding of space and time, becoming one of the two pillars of ...

Often he used real-world examples that helped non-scientists grasp his theories of relativity. He started pondering one of them, about chasing a beam of light through space, when he was 16.

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU ...
