What are Black Holes: The Journey From Theory to Reality
Black holes have firmly moved from the status of theoretical curiosity to physical reality. We follow that transformation and the ...
What is Mass-Energy Equivalence (E=mc^2): the most famous formula in science
The mass-energy equivalence is the crown jewel of special relativity, explaining the phenomena that power the stars, our homes, and ...
What is Special Relativity: A Guide to Spacetime, Time Dilation and Length Contraction
Einstein's theory of special relativity would revolutionise the field of physics upon its introduction. This is the first part of ...

AI uses Einstein’s special relativity to predict future events
Researchers used 'light cones' to draw boundaries and make AIs more human-like in predicting events in the future.
The Cosmological Constant: How Einstein’s ‘greatest blunder’ became an expanding problem
The Universe is expanding, of that much cosmologists are sure. But the question of what rate at which that expansion ...
Hard work, not genius, is what should inspire the next generation of scientists
Winners are made with hard work and perseverance, not just talent.
Mindbending ‘Spooky Action at a Distance’ experiment involving 100,000 gamers proves Einstein wrong
Quantum mechanics -- how does it work?!
Einstein tipped a Japanese bellboy with notes on living a happy life. They’ve now sold for $1.8 million
It's rather ironic and one can only wonder what Einstein would say about all of this.
Why the gravitational waves splashed by the merger of two dying stars spells a revolution in astronomy
This was an amazing week in science -- with much more to come.
