There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”. However, Lorentz invariance – the theory that the same rules of physics apply ...

When an object moves extremely fast—close to the speed of light—certain basic assumptions that we take for granted no longer apply. This is the central consequence of Albert Einstein's special theory ...

BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...

Michelson's interference experiment / by H.A. Lorentz -- Electromagnetic phenomena in a system moving with any velocity less than that of light / by H.A. Lorentz -- On the electrodynamics of moving ...

A "New Theory of Everything" aims to advance and improve our understanding of gravity beyond what we know from Einstein's Theory of Relativity. For years, scientists have tried to combine gravity with ...

Tachyons are hypothetical particles that travel at speeds greater than the speed of light. These superluminal particles, are the "enfant terrible" of modern physics. Until recently, they were ...

Time dilation. Length contraction. The fact that time moves faster at your face than it does at your feet. These are all experimentally verified consequences of the Special Theory of Relativity, ...

No audio available for this content. Image: GPS.gov Clocks are at the heart of GPS. Advances in space-qualified atomic clocks that kept time to within 10 nanoseconds over a day were a key development ...

What if the technology you use every day depends on a subtle distortion of time itself? The answer lies in a century-old idea ...
