The Latest Breaking News from Albert Einstein

The furore over the Israel-Hamas war has reached all the way to Birobidzhan in Russia’s Far East, the world’s only autonomous Jewish territory outside Israel, after a local newspaper published its support for the Palestinian cause. FRANCE 24 examines the history of this remote region – which in many ways…

This is a miniature masterpiece

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.

Einstein Turm (Einstein Tower) has undergone extensive renovations to preserve it for future generations

Einstein’s theory of gravity — general relativity — has been very successful for more than a century. However, it has theoretical shortcomings. This is not surprising: the theory predicts its own failure at spacetime singularities inside black holes — and the Big Bang itself.

The calculated dark energy content of the universe, based on theory, is bizarrely off the mark. In the simplest estimate, there should be enough energy in a cube with sides of length 10^-21 cm to unbind the entire Milky Way, yet in reality there appears to be much, much less.…
