Time is not the same everywhere in space. On Mars, it flows on average 477 microseconds more each Earth day (24h) than on ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

Standing in the elevator of a towering skyscraper, you might wonder if your journey upward changes more than just your view.

Approaching a black hole unleashes extreme tidal forces, stretching and tearing apart matter, including planets like Earth, a ...

This temporal lag is a direct consequence of Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. The rule is simple: the weaker ...

If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster ...

There are a million theories about the human species and how we interact with the earth. Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy. It discovers what the building blocks of nature are. Many ...

Last week, we touched upon E=mc2, and how Einstein’s theory of relativity turned the world of physics upside-down. Now, we’re using that theory to show why the very concept of time may not be what you ...

Google says spyware was slipped onto smartphones in Italy and Kazakhstan with the help of mobile interent service providers who cut off service so users could be ...

In 1797, English scientist Henry Cavendish measured the strength of gravity with a contraption made of lead spheres, wooden rods and wire. In the 21st century, scientists are doing something very ...

Since I didn't want to hijack the Stephen Hawking on black holes thread, I wanted to ask in a separate topic. So matter falls into a black hole, as it gets closer and closer, the falling objects seem ...
