Time is a fickle thing. Depending on your frame of reference, it can appear to pass slower or quicker, thanks to a wonky phenomenon known as time dilation that was described in Albert Einstein's ...

Last week, we touched upon E=mc2, and how Einstein’s theory of relativity turned the world of physics upside-down. Now, we’re using that theory to show why the very concept of time may not be what you ...

The principle of relativity, as initially described by Galileo, posits that the laws of physics remain consistent regardless of an observer's relative motion. Einstein's special relativity ...

Space and time seem like two completely different ideas, but Einstein showed they are interlinked in what is known as ...

The world’s best clocks may be sensitive to an odd mix of quantum and relativistic effects that would stretch time and test ...

The current methods for attitude determination are Star Trackers, sun sensors, magnetometers, and gyroscopes. We would like ...

Time dilation is usually present in sci-fi movies especially if the main theme is all about cosmic encounters. While it sounds impossible in real life, astronomers said that it had happened in the ...

Here's an unusual fact that takes a bit of explaining. The center of the Earth is around two and a half years younger than the surface. The rest of this article is behind a paywall. Please sign in or ...

I am so intimidated right now...I think I understand less about relativity now than before I asked the question. I think - if I understand things as written - that time can be observed to slow for an ...

From what we know about No Man’s Sky, aging won’t be a source of in-game anxiety. Although characters can definitely die and the universe is big enough to explore into one’s dotage, the archbishop won ...
