For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as ...

On 25 November 1915, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity at the Prussian ... but it was largely eclipsed by quantum mechanics in the mid 20th Century. Despite explaining ...

Einstein predicted that massive objects bend light as it passes through their gravitational field. This week, a new telescope ...

It’s the only one of the four fundamental forces of nature described by general relativity, and the only one that quantum theory cannot address. Coming up with a model that ties up all four ...

Mathematical solutions to thorny quantum problems can be found ... As predicted by the theory of general relativity, the passage of gravitational waves can leave a measurable change in the ...

General relativity describes gravitation in a geometrical framework generalizing special relativity and classical mechanics. This term includes theoretical studies of gravity, experimental studies ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

As Professor Oppenheim puts it, "Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are mathematically incompatible with each other, so it's important to understand how this contradiction ...
