Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang ...
In his 1986 book, Was Einstein Right? Prof. Clifford Will, physics, Washington University in St. Louis, declared anyone who questioned Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity to be a crank or ...
For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...
DURHAM, N.C. -– Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity's ...
Susskind and Friedman follow their collaboration on Quantum Mechanics by probing the mathematical nitty-gritty of field theory and Einstein’s theory of special relativity in the third installment of ...
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 ...
THE theory of relativity is an undeniable achievement in physics and is a logical development of the theory of measurement; but it does not have the significance for the universe which is usually ...
