Physicists have taken a bold step beyond Einstein's special theory of relativity, proposing an expansion of special ...

Einstein’s central coup with general relativity was to combine that with a principle noted over three centuries earlier by Galileo: that falling objects accelerated at the same rate regardless ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with those of general relativity.

Since, according to Einstein's special theory of relativity, time moves slower ... Einstein decided, based on the "principle of equivalence." Similarly, if your elevator were to plummet far ...

THERE were many difficulties to encounter in entering the room just now. To begin with, we had to bear the crushing load of the atmosphere, amounting to 14 lb. on every square inch. At each step ...

Let's first look at one of the most famous tenets of General Relativity—the Equivalence Principle. The Equivalence Principle states that gravity and acceleration are the same. It is at the core ...

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 ...
