Time dilation, a captivating concept embedded in Einstein’s theory of relativity, has been experimentally validated on Earth.

Time is a fickle thing. Depending on your frame of reference, it can appear to pass slower or quicker, thanks to a wonky phenomenon known as time dilation that was described in Albert Einstein's ...

Time dilation: It’s a staple of science fiction, and whether you’re familiar with the term or not, you’ve probably encountered it in print or film. Fly fast enough to the speed of light, and your ...

Last week, we touched upon E=mc2, and how Einstein’s theory of relativity turned the world of physics upside-down. Now, we’re using that theory to show why the very concept of time may not be what you ...

Research published recently in the journal Nature Communications considers the influence of the quantum mechanics concept of superposition on timekeeping. Superposition refers to the ability of an ...

The concept of time travel, filled with magic, has long danced on the boundary between science and science fiction. From ...

Black holes are not just "monsters that devour everything"; they also cause strange changes in time itself. According to ...

One of Albert Einstein's greatest insights was realizing that time is relative. It speeds up or slows down depending on how fast one thing is moving relative to something else. How much does it change ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

Cool research story with connections to atomic clocks, Einstein and quantum mechanics. The research shows the 'spooky' interference that can impact even the most sophisticated clocks. A phenomenon of ...
