An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...

A prediction made by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity has come true as astrophysicists have detected light coming from behind a black hole. A team of scientists made the analysis ...

A century ago, Albert Einstein became famous. Sure, he was already well-known among physicists. But the world at large learned his name only after November 1919, when news broke that his theory of ...
