The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole.

CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION — Despite the number of struggles Relativity Space has faced trying to get the world’s first 3D-printed rocket off the ground, it finally succeeded Wednesday night, ...

Older doesn't necessarily mean better, and with refrigerators, while some things were better in the old days, other things ...

Tiny “Ferris wheels” made from light and extremely cold particles could allow researchers to test a facet of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity on unprecedentedly small scales. Theories of special ...

The force of gravity varies across the solar system, primarily influenced by a celestial body's mass, size, and density. The Sun has the strongest gravity at the centre, while planets like Jupiter ...

Scientists have achieved negative time in quantum experiment where light exits materials before entering, revealing new ...

Ants have evolved an acute sense of smell, which requires each sensory neuron to choose one scent receptor out of hundreds. In a new study published in Nature, researchers at New York University have ...

Falling into a black hole means facing extreme stretching, known as spaghettification, due to immense tidal forces. While ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the dreams of science fiction enthusiasts when he began to study the limits of ...

General relativity describes gravitation in a geometrical framework generalizing special relativity and classical mechanics. This term includes theoretical studies of gravity, experimental studies of ...

In Interstellar, Miller’s planet orbits close to the black hole Gargantua, where gravity is so strong that time runs much slower. This is gravitational time dilation, a prediction of Einstein’s ...
