A newly developed solution to the equations at the heart of Albert Einstein's most revolutionary theory suggests hypothetical stars called "nestars" could be made from stacked gravitational stars, or ...

Several physicists have proposed theories that try to unite quantum mechanics with Einstein’s general theory of relativity. But a new study goes one step ahead; it not only links the two theories but ...

If the universe were a soup, it would be more of a chunky minestrone than a silky-smooth tomato bisque. Sprinkled with matter that clumps together due to the insatiable pull of gravity, the universe ...

From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). In November 1915, in a lecture before the Prussian Academy of Sciences, Albert Einstein described an idea that upended humanity’s view of the universe.

It stands among the most famous theories ever created, but the general theory of relativity did not spring into being with a single, astonishing paper like the special theory of relativity in 1905.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. It's difficult to appreciate how revolutionary of a transformation it ...

Albert Einstein released his general theory of relativity at the end of 1915. He should have finished it two years earlier. When scholars look at his notebooks from the period, they see the completed ...
