Whether space-time exists should be neither controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of "space-time," "events" and "instants." The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

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 ...

The story begins with the black hole information paradox. According to relativity, anything that falls into a black hole is ...

Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity. Eleftherios-Ermis ...

A compilation of various images from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the effects of gravitational lensing caused by dark ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

The entangled clocks can test how quantum theory behaves in the presence of curved space-time as predicted by Einstein, or whether our current theories break down. Hoboken, N.J., July 14, 2025 — ...

What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred ...

Astronomers used a method once theorized by Albert Einstein to find a mysterious and rare planet on the edge of our galaxy. The planet, AT2021uey b, is a Jupiter-sized gas giant located about 3,200 ...
