Disclaimer: I am very much a physics noob. This might be a nonsensical question. That spacetime can be curved or warped is something I can grasp, but I keep getting stuck on one specific aspect of how ...

As one star spins another out of view for the next century and a half, astronomers use it to weight an incredible binary system. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity views time similarly to width, height, and length. As such, both time and space can be curved by gravity. This effectively means that time is slower the closer ...

In a dual set of papers published in Science last week, an international group of researchers presented an experiment which used relativistic time dilation to measure the curvature of spacetime. The ...

(Nanowerk News) According to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, space and time are inextricably connected. In our Universe, whose curvature is barely measurable, the structure of this spacetime is fixed ...

Ever since Einstein showed that gravity is the result of the curvature of space and time by a massive object, scientists have freely talked about space/time as some sort of fabric. But the very word ...

A paper appeared in Classical and Quantum Gravity. Co-author, Associate Professor of the Department of Relativity Theory and Gravity of KFU Alexei Zayats explains, "Light is distributed linearly in ...

A clear look at how physics defines gravity, from Newton’s force-based model to Einstein’s view of curved spacetime, and why the distinction matters in modern science.

In a laboratory experiment, researchers have succeeded in realizing an effective spacetime that can be manipulated. In their research on ultracold quantum gases, they were able to simulate an entire ...
