Einstein’s special relativity, which he formulated in his “miracle year” of 1905, was a theory that revolutionised our ideas of space and time – and ultimately paved the way for some even ...

Like Max Planck, Albert Einstein first studied mathematics because he was told that everything interesting in physics had already been discovered. But in 1905, Einstein, a young cleark at the ...

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

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire ...

Constantinos G. Vayenas explores the roles of neutrinos, quantum mechanics, and special relativity in baryogenesis ...

Over four months, March through June 1905, Albert Einstein produced four papers that revolutionized science. One explained how to measure the size of molecules in a liquid, a second posited how to ...

Expanding his special theory, Einstein’s general theory of relativity states that what we perceive as the force of gravity between two masses actually arises from their warping of space and time.

Physics is a continually advancing field, with new discoveries occurring daily. Newton’s theory of gravity and Galileo’s description of planetary motion are key components of classical physics.

On 25 November 1915, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity at the Prussian Academy of Sciences. This theory is still considered to be the most important idea in modern physics.
