A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...

Scientists hope to probe the nature of general relativity through a possible pulsar found in the center of the Milky Way, ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

A prediction made by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity has come true as astrophysicists have detected light coming from behind a black hole. A team of scientists made the analysis ...

PARIS, FRANCE - NOVEMBER 23: Specialist in the Books and Manuscript department at Christie's, Vincent Belloy poses with the Einstein-Besso manuscript written jointly by Albert Einstein and Michele ...

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 Swiss ...

Physicists artificially slowed down time to reveal the bizarre Terrell-Penrose effect, a consequence of special relativity. This image from the experiment shows a sphere seemingly moving at 99.9 ...

A handwritten copy of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity notes was sold for millions at Christie’s auction house in Paris, France, on Tuesday. The 54-page document by Einstein and his friend ...

A rare manuscript with notes made by Albert Einstein was auctioned for more than $13 million. They contain the early calculations that eventually became Einstein's general theory of relativity.
