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 ...

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 ...

On November 6, 2025, a remarkable breakthrough in quantum physics was announced that could potentially revolutionize space ...

Time dilation, a captivating concept embedded in Einstein’s theory of relativity, has been experimentally validated on Earth. With the use of ultra-precise clocks, scientists have been able to ...

We’re all too familiar with the inexorable march of time, but why exactly it flows in one direction remains a mystery of physics. A few years ago Australian physicist Joan Vaccaro proposed a new ...

In a dual set of papers published in Science last week, an international group of researchers presented an experiment which used relativistic time dilation to measure the curvature of spacetime. The ...

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 ...

Let’s talk time dilation. We recently all experienced how March 2020 felt like it lasted something like 20 years, and how August to Christmas went in a blink of an eye. That’s almost relativity for ...
