The Latest Breaking News from Albert Einstein

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Using laser pulses, picosecond exposures on high-speed cameras, and some clever methods to simulate the speed of light, Austrian-based researchers were able to show that the image of an object moving at the speed of light is rotated.

Gravity pulls us to earth, a lesson you learn viscerally the first time you fall. Isaac Newton described gravity as a universal attractive force, one that holds the Moon in orbit around the Earth, the planets in orbit around the Sun, and the Sun in orbit around the center of…

The universe could be packed with dark matter haloes that have no galaxy fillings.

‘The formula they used for these numbers to measure the trade deficit, it’s like ‘apples, oranges, a couple of cashews, divided by ten, times four — none of it makes any sense’

ANALYSIS: The groundbreaking findings throw established science into question, write Bernard J.T. Jones, Licia Verde, Vicent J. Martínez and Virginia L Trimble

The great Russian physicist and Nobel laureate Lev Landau once remarked that “cosmologists are often in error, but never in doubt”. In studying the history of the universe itself, there is always a chance that we have got it all wrong, but we never let this stand in the way…

The space telescope's image of a odd-looking spiral galaxy is, in reality, two distant galaxies overlapping each other.

The strange sight is actually two galaxies, with the light of the second warped around the one at the front as a result of its massive gravity.
