The Latest Breaking News from Albert Einstein

Theoretical astrophysicist Carlo Rovelli takes readers on a journey to the hypothetical inverse of black holes in his latest book, “White Holes.”

The gravitational constant: What is it?

Uncommon Courses is an occasional series from The Conversation U.S. highlighting unconventional approaches to teaching.

I am serving my ninth and final year in the Nobel Committee for Physics, which is an absolutely fascinating job – albeit hard. The best bit is hearing the reactions of the shocked laureates when they receive some of the biggest news of their lives over the phone.

Black holes may seem like interstellar enigmas, but they hold some key lessons on how to move through the universe.

With his theory of General Relativity in 1915, Albert Einstein revolutionized how we think about our universe. Rather than the cosmos simply providing the room for the planets and stars to orbit each other, space and time themselves were now dynamical entities in one ever-evolving play with matter and light.

Some research suggests that Einstein’s theory is failing and must be replaced with a more fundamental one.

For the first time, scientists have observed antimatter particles falling downwards due to the effect of gravity

In a new study, researchers prove Einstein right, that matter and antimatter are drawn toward each other — not pushed apart — by gravity. Antigravity no more.
