Astronomers have detected mysterious X-ray signals coming from a nearby white dwarf star for more than 40 years. We may now ...

In 1915, Einstein published his paper on general relativity, a theory of gravitation. While Newton’s gravity explained everyday phenomena, it did not explain the nature of gravity itself.

Hugging Face co-founder and chief science officer Thomas Wolf thinks that AI today isn't capable of figuring out novel ...

A weak gravitational field indicates nearly flat space-time, and there Newton's theories seem to apply. But a strong gravitational field throws classical predictions off. Einstein postulated three ...

This was incredibly shocking to a world that saw Newton's laws of physics as sacrosanct. Everyone knew that space had three dimensions, and time only one. But Einstein put them together in one ...

But if Einstein, or even the 17th century discoveries of Isaac Newton, the mind behind the previous gravitational framework ...

Ten years later, in 1915, Einstein made up for the omission with his general theory of relativity, which amended Newton’s laws by redefining gravity. General relativity revealed that space and ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding ...

The same would be said of Einstein when his papers on the theory of relativity were published some 250 years later. By flinging gravity across the void, Isaac Newton united physics and astronomy ...

Newton didn’t believe objects affected space, the American Museum of Natural History writes, but Einstein did, and had even ...
