For some, the idea of realistically achieving the ability to travel through time is a thankless pipe dream. For others, each passing day is but another 24-hour block of dreaming about how to best alter history once the surely inevitable technology comes along to make time travel as easy as swiping a bus pass.
A landmark day for Einstein and our understanding of the universe: the detection of gravitational waves. Brian Greene explains the discovery.
Rumor has it that gravitational waves might be detected soon - a late triumph for Einstein
Born in Chicago, the 22-year-old erudite has been named “The Next Einstein” by Harvard University. Gonzalez Pasterski is an MIT graduate and Harvard Ph.D. candidate interested in answering some of the most complex questions in physics.
Produce and detect gravitational fields at will using magnetic fields, control them for studying them, work with them to produce new technologies -- it sounds daring, but one physicist has proposed just that in a new article. If followed, this proposal could transform physics and shake up Einstein
Science fiction literature is full of stories in which tunnels in space-time known as wormholes are used for time travel. How much fact lies within the fiction? The answer is, more than you might think.
Spectacular new Hubble Space Telescope images reveal 250 previously unknown galaxies that formed just 600 million years after the Big Bang.
Researchers at Cornell University have developed an evolutionary computing algorithm called Eureqa that allows the laws of nature to be extracted from data at
