From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). In November 1915, in a lecture before the Prussian Academy of Sciences, Albert Einstein described an idea that upended humanity’s view of the universe.

Einstein’s theories of relativity reshaped physics, but some of their implications are stranger than even he anticipated. When you follow the math to its limits, it predicts black holes, warped time, ...

Albert Einstein on a bill of 5 Israeli Pounds. A truly spectacular unpublished autograph manuscript produced by German physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) and exploring his celebrated Unified Field ...

Proposed 15 years ago, the bounded L2 curvature conjecture has finally been proven by a group of researchers. It provides a potentially minimal framework in which it is possible to solve the Einstein ...

We prove several theorems concerning the connection between the local CR embeddability of 3-dimensional CR manifolds, and the existence of algebraically special Maxwell and gravitational fields. We ...

Why is the expansion of our Universe accelerating? Twenty-five years after its discovery, this phenomenon remains one of the greatest scientific mysteries. Solving it involves testing the fundamental ...

The Einstein equations remain the cornerstone of general relativity, underpinning our understanding of how matter and energy influence spacetime curvature. Recent investigations have not only ...

Why is the expansion of our Universe accelerating? Twenty-five years after its discovery, this phenomenon remains one of the greatest current scientific mysteries. Solving it requires testing the ...
