This temporal lag is a direct consequence of Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. The rule is simple: the weaker ...

Time is relative. If you don’t believe me, get into a plank for one minute. How was that? Longest minute of your life, huh?

Physicists from JILA — a CU Boulder and National Institute of Standards and Technology institute — were able to measure an effect called time dilation at the smallest scale ever, which they say could ...

"A three-body problem is extremely complicated. Now we're dealing with four: the sun, Earth, the moon and Mars. The heavy ...

A new theoretical paper has tackled the phenomenon of quantum decoherence, the process by which objects slip out of the quantum world and start behaving classically. The paper approaches this in a new ...

If dark energy continues its dominance in the Universe, every galaxy beyond our neighborhood will one day no longer be visible (via NASA) Dark energy is an unknown form of energy that is proposed to ...

Standing in the elevator of a towering skyscraper, you might wonder if your journey upward changes more than just your view.

One of the most mind-bending aspects of Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity is time dilation. Time moves more slowly for a person in motion compared to a person at rest. This effect also applies in ...

Einstein's theory of relativity has all sorts of weird results that make it difficult to wrap your head around, but one of the weirdest is time dilation. Basically, according to relativity, if you ...

General and special relativity are two of the more mind bending theories in modern science. According to them, space and time are a singular entity that is warped by mass, where measurements ...
