Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

Researchers use an updated version of slit experiment, and figure out who was correct between Einstein and Bohrs regarding ...

Researchers have finally resolved a century-old debate over the famous "double slit" experiment, according to new research.

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...

Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been challenged by a team of researchers having conducted a 16 year-long experiment. The theory, which Albert Einstein published in 1915, is the cornerstone ...

Albert Einstein was well known for his thought experiments involving complex scientific ideas. Often he used real-world examples that helped non-scientists grasp his theories of relativity. He started ...

The faster you move, the stranger time becomes. By imagining how light travels to two people moving at different speeds, Einstein showed that time isn’t absolute. His thought experiment revealed that ...

To understand gravity, Einstein had to rethink space and time as a single connected fabric. He showed that mass bends this fabric, guiding how everything moves. NOVA is available to stream on pbs.org ...

Decades in the making, a space probe that delves into Albert Einstein's general theory of gravitation remains grounded on Earth, caught in its own space-time continuum of technical snags, costly ...
