Sometimes the biggest puzzle in physics seems like the worst relationship in the universe. Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two best theories in physics, but they have never been able ...

Pedro Ferreira looks back at how Einstein himself and a panoply of other physicists have framed the theory. Until very recently, relativists were few and often self-taught. General relativity still ...

A preliminary analysis of data from the Gravity Probe B satellite has confirmed that the Earth's mass distorts the fabric of space and time as predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.
