If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster ...

Warp drives have long lived in the realm of science fiction, but the underlying physics that inspired them is very real and ...

In a groundbreaking exploration of physics, researchers have revealed a way to extend Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity to accommodate superluminal observers—those moving faster than ...

Oftentimes, we think of space as an endless, mostly empty vacuum, a silent backdrop where planets, stars, and galaxies play out their dance. We also think of time as something separate, a steady ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Time might actually have 3 dimensions. But it also means that the space would actually be one-dimensional, instead of the three dimensions we’re familiar with.

It was already a mind-bending shift, last century, to go from Isaac Newton’s absolute space and universal time to Albert Einstein’s four-dimensional space-time, which is dynamic, flexible, sensitive ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...
