Scientists could soon test Einstein's theory of general relativity by measuring the distortion of time. General relativity states that gravity is the result of mass warping the fabric of space and ...

AS MUCH AS we may want to, we cannot go back in time. Is this just our current reality, or is the direction of time fixed by the laws of the universe? One clue to explain this “arrow” of time is the ...

In the gloomy days of January, time seems to drag. According to the Einstein theory of relativity, it actually does—in a minute amount that means little to anyone except a scientist. During its annual ...

Thanks to Albert Einstein, the US Government wants to establish an official time zone for the Moon. It has less to do with jet lag and more to do with how gravity affects time and can throw a lot of ...

“The passage of time is fundamental to the theory of relativity: how you realize it, how you calculate it, and what influences it,” said Bijunath Patla, a physicist at the National Institute of ...

LAST month, I answered a reader question about space-time expansion. They wanted to know what space-time is expanding into, given that we scientists tend to analogise with a balloon that is being ...

Hello,<BR><BR><BR>I have been trying to think of a way to phrase this question so I do not appear to be a complete moron because I do not think I am but here goes.<BR><BR>Why is each observers frame ...

All those can be explained if you ignore the relative time aberrations and get back to the true physics. If you want true determinations you must use universally valid constants, relativity has no ...
