Studying the equations of General Relativity and beyond, both analytically and with state-of-the-art simulations. Novel numerical and mathematical approaches can shed light on the structure and ...

In this paper-covered pamphlet of eighty pages, which is sold for saxpence, Prof. Rice sets forth the doctrine of relativity: and not only this, but also (as prelimiriaries to it) the principles of ...

Yesterday, I wrote about the core concepts needed to understand quantum physics, which is one of the two pillars of modern physics. The other, of course, is the theory of relativity, the full and ...

Pedro Ferreira looks back at how Einstein himself and a panoply of other physicists have framed the theory. Until very recently, relativists were few and often self-taught. General relativity still ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Although a typical mathematical task has a single correct answer, in some cases, the assumptions of a proposition determine its truth. Such relativity of truth plays a major role in the ...

A framework that relies on college-level mathematics could describe what happens to particles in so-called spacetime rips, gravity fluctuations such as those that occur during the birth of a black ...

I’ve been getting lots of emails and tweets about a young man named Jacob Barnett, a 12-year-old who is apparently a math genius. He’s been getting a lot of press lately because he’s tackling some ...
