Disclaimer: I am very much a physics noob. This might be a nonsensical question. That spacetime can be curved or warped is something I can grasp, but I keep getting stuck on one specific aspect of how ...

Warp drive has long been shorthand for “pure fantasy,” a narrative device that lets starships hop between stars without ...

(Nanowerk News) According to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, space and time are inextricably connected. In our Universe, whose curvature is barely measurable, the structure of this spacetime is fixed ...

A doomed star spiraling into a supermassive black hole has given physicists one of their clearest looks yet at how gravity ...

I've been trying to explain quantum physics, forces, relativity, and space-time to my kid and we had a question that I'm finding difficult to find a solid answer to. Background you can skip if you ...

Einstein's general theory of relativity, published in 1915, relates spacetime curvature to matter distribution, leading to the Schwarzschild solution describing a black hole. The Schwarzschild ...

Large masses – such as a galaxy – curve space-time. Objects move along a geodesic. If we take into account that space-time itself has quantum properties, deviations arise (dashed line vs. solid line).

Recent theoretical advances have underscored the significance of momentum space geometry in the realm of relativistic physics. Traditional notions of flat momentum space are being re-evaluated in ...
