JUDY WOODRUFF: But, first, this week marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of Albert Einstein’s greatest work, a series of papers laying out the general theory of relativity. Gwen has a look ...

Researchers used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to map how nearly 6 million galaxies cluster across 11 billion years of cosmic history. Their observations line up with what Einstein's theory ...

Research teams on both sides of the Atlantic have shown that precise modeling of the universe and its contents will change the detailed understanding of the evolution of the universe and the growth of ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

It might not be obvious to those of us only grappling with more mundane concerns, but for cosmologists bent on unlocking the universe’s deepest secrets, there’s no shortage of problems keeping them up ...

Learn how researchers used Einstein’s theory of general relativity to create the most accurate simulations to date. Think of a black hole, and you might imagine a literal dark hole, but contrary to ...

Understand Einstein’s General Relativity with a clear and easy-to-follow explanation that breaks down complex ideas like spacetime, gravity, and curvature in simple terms. This video uses intuitive ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

Albert Einstein is synonymous with genius and groundbreaking ideas, often immediately linked to his theories of relativity. Yet, when the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to him, it was not for ...

Born in Ülm, Germany in 1879, Einstein is generally described as having been withdrawn and slow to respond in his early years. Often he quietly sat by himself putting together shapes cut out with a ...
