General Relativity reinterprets the force of gravity not as a traditional force but as a manifestation of the curvature of spacetime. Its formulation rests on a rigorous mathematical framework built ...

The geometry of spacetime forms the very foundation of modern gravitational theory, where the elegant interplay between curvature and matter is described by Einstein’s field equations. In this ...

“The main idea is to have a gravity gauge theory with a symmetry that is similar to the Standard Model symmetries, instead of basing the theory on the very different kind of spacetime symmetry of ...

Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

A framework that relies on college-level mathematics could describe what happens to particles in so-called spacetime rips, gravity fluctuations such as those that occur during the birth of a black ...

Shortly after Einstein proposed his general theory of relativity, a German physicist called Karl Schwarzschild found one of the first and most important solutions to Einstein’s field equations. Now ...

It stands among the most famous theories ever created, but the general theory of relativity did not spring into being with a single, astonishing paper like the special theory of relativity in 1905.
