For more than a century, Einstein’s relativity has set a hard speed limit for the universe, with light as the ultimate ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

For over a century, scientists have been intrigued to decode the perplexing scenery behind contemporary physics. It's been up for many years, and yet the experts still have no idea how to bridge the ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center—a point, hidden behind the event ...

Vladimir Fock occupies a distinctive place in the history of twentieth-century science, not only for his profound ...

Albert Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, but not for relativity—the theory that made him famous. This article ...

Nonlocality is a phenomenon that has gained a lot of attention within the physics community over the past few decades. In what Einstein described as “spooky action at a distance,” the implications of ...

GENEVA - A pillar of physics - that nothing can go faster than the speed of light - appears to be smashed by an oddball subatomic particle that has apparently made a giant end run around Albert ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

On the eve of the recent major snowstorm, students, faculty, and staff gathered in the Nixon Lounge of Hawthorne-Longfellow Library to listen to Thomas W. Baumgarte, William R. Kenan Professor of ...
