Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

The answer comes from a counterintuitive result of special relativity, a field of physics which is notoriously difficult to ...

Because the moon has less gravity than Earth does, time passes slightly differently there. This effect was first predicted by ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity views time similarly to width, height, and length. As such, both time and space can be curved by gravity. This effectively means that time is slower the closer ...

Independent researcher and CEO of IDrive Inc., Raghu Kulkarni, has unveiled a groundbreaking framework for understanding the universe: the Selection-Stitch Model (SSM). The model suggests that ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Two cutting-edge atomic clocks — the most accurate ever ...

Physicists hope that understanding the churning region near singularities might help them reconcile gravity and quantum mechanics. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a ...

When a star gets too close to a black hole, the gravity of the black hole changes what happens next in really big ways. They give us a chance to see h.

As he consolidates control over Relativity Space, new owner and chief executive Eric Schmidt is planning significant changes at the launch company, including a likely move to the Lone Star State.
