If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy.

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research shows ...

One of the first verified predictions of general relativity is the gravitational deflection of starlight. The effect was ...

Miguel Alcubierre was able to construct a valid solution to the equations of general relativity that enable a warp drive. But ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity can be summed up in just 12 words: “Space-time tells matter how to move; matter tells space-time how to curve”. But this short description from the ...

In the early 20th century, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity revolutionised our understanding of gravity, but did it truly replace Isaac Newton’s timeless laws? Newton’s law of ...

A new recipe for gravity could help solve some of the universe's greatest mysteries. It suggests that the concept of "quantum gravity" could arise from entropy, possibly solving puzzles put forth ...

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity is one of the towering achievements of 20th-century physics. In our introduction to general relativity, we explain how this theory developed ...

For the first time, a mathematical framework proves that Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which explains the ...

On 25 November 1915, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity at the Prussian Academy of Sciences. This theory is still considered to be the most important idea in modern physics.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of its publication, Brian Cox and the world's leading cosmologists take Robin Ince on a guided tour of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity ...
