The prevailing assumption has been that Einstein's theory of gravity must be modified, or 'quantized', in order to fit within quantum theory. This is the approach of two leading candidates for a ...

Albert Einstein may be most famous for his mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc 2, but his work also laid down the foundation for modern quantum mechanics. His analysis of the "spookiness" of ...

Imagine shining a flashlight across a dark room. You can predict exactly what the light will do: travel in a straight line from one point to another. That seems obvious, because in the world we see ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. 'No understanding of or interest in modern physics': Einstein (pictured) was criticised by Oppenheimer - Library of ...

Scientists using the MAIUS-B apparatus have produced a rubidium-potassium dual-species Bose-Einstein condensate at a record ...

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a striking concept in a 1935 paper. In that work, they described an abstract ...

Einstein's theory of time and space will celebrate its 100th anniversary this year. Even today it captures the imagination of scientists. In an international collaboration, researchers from the ...
