Not just Einstein but every physicist of his day thought such a process impossible; it would operate faster than light, in apparent violation of relativity theory. In effect, quantum mechanics does ...

The faster you move, the stranger time becomes. By imagining how light travels to two people moving at different speeds, Einstein showed that time isn’t absolute. His thought experiment revealed that ...

'No understanding of or interest in modern physics': Einstein (pictured) was criticised by Oppenheimer - Library of Congress/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images Viewers of Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-hoovering ...

To understand gravity, Einstein had to rethink space and time as a single connected fabric. He showed that mass bends this fabric, guiding how everything moves. NOVA is available to stream on pbs.org ...

Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically. That's why he said that great scientists were also artists. Einstein first described his intuitive thought processes at a physics ...

For perhaps the hundredth time, I try to think like Einstein. A burst of light is seen by two observers: one stationary on a platform, the other moving in a train. Assume the speed of light is the ...

One of the world's most famous scientist, Albert Einstein, loved playing the violin. In fact, he started learning when he was ...
