Wormholes sit at the edge of science and storytelling, promising shortcuts across the cosmos and even pathways through time.

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...

In the 1900s, Albert Einstein unified the concepts of space and time, giving us a useful new way to picture the universe. At the start of the 20th century, physicists had a problem: The speed of light ...

Even 100 years after Einstein formulated his theory of general relativity, new observations keep confirming its predictions. Now, Australian astronomers have found some of the best evidence of one ...

A century after Albert Einstein sketched out his radical picture of gravity, astronomers have now watched a black hole physically twist the fabric of spacetime around it. By tracking the death spiral ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Gravity might have been the first fundamental force ever discovered, ...

Matter tells space how to curve, and curved space tells matter how to move. That's the basic principle behind Einstein's General Relativity, which linked, for the first time, the phenomenon of gravity ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Imagine if we could use strong electromagnetic fields to manipulate the local properties of spacetime—this could have important ramifications in terms of science and engineering. Electromagnetism has ...
