These universal constants include the speed of light in a vacuum, Newton’s gravitational constant, Planck’s constant (the scale at which quantum effects begin), and the masses of the fundamental ...

In his classic science-fiction story “The New Accelerator,” published in 1901, H. G. Wells describes a drug that speeds up a person’s metabolism by a factor of 1,000. For the two protagonists who ...

This is an example of time dilation, a consequence of the idea that time and space are not absolute - meaning all observers do not always measure these quantities as the same. In everyday life we use ...

When students learn that Albert Einstein won a Nobel Prize, the assumption feels automatic: relativity. The bending of space and time. The theory that redefined gravity and reshaped modern physics.

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”. However, Lorentz invariance – the theory that the same rules of physics apply ...

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.

The Twin Paradox is one of the most fascinating and perplexing concepts in Special Relativity. It involves two twins: one stays on Earth while the other travels through space at near light speed. Upon ...

On this day in 1905 Albert Einstein published his paper introducing special relativity in a German physics journal. Entitled “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies,” the paper introduced key ideas ...
