Physicists have demonstrated the Terrell-Penrose effect, which causes an object moving close to the speed of light to warp ...

When an object moves extremely fast – close to the speed of light – certain basic assumptions that we take for granted no longer apply. This is the ...

“The chief attraction of the theory lies in its logical completeness,” wrote Albert Einstein after publishing his general theory of relativity in 1915. “If a single one of the conclusions ...

Machine learning helped show how harnessing the weird effects of Einstein’s special relativity could enable a new kind of ...

Over four months, March through June 1905, Albert Einstein produced four papers ... He knew that his 1905 special relativity theory applied only to the relationship between a body at rest and ...
