Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

For scientists, learning more about how black holes behave is essential to understanding how the universe works. A recent ...

From Einstein's theory of relativity to cutting-edge explorations in quantum mechanics, scientists have proposed various theoretical paths to achieve time travel. Although most remain in the realm of ...

Humans have been studying total solar eclipses for millennia to better understand the cosmos. Total eclipses have helped prove Einstein's theory of relativity and led to the discovery of helium. Here ...

Many theories are rock-solid: Scientists have just as much confidence in the theories of relativity, quantum mechanics, evolution, plate tectonics, and thermodynamics as they do in the statement that ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet their unification remains one of science’s greatest challenges. Now, ...

BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...

A new solution to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests hypothetical gravitational stars that look like black holes could be nested within one another. When you purchase through ...

A group of physicists has measured gravity using the effects of time dilation — the slowing of time imparted by increased velocity or gravitational force — on atoms. Once again, physicists have ...

While the title makes this sound very science-based, this is still a financial planning article. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of the theory of financial relativity, as it was made up while I was ...

It's not a fluke: For the third time, the LIGO gravitational wave observatory has detected ripples in space-time caused when two black holes circle each other at mind-bending speeds and collide. The ...
