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 ...

Now here’s some weird science for you. The Earth’s surface is actually 2.5 years older than its core. Meaning that the core of our planet (the inside) is 2.5 years younger than the surface (the ...

One of the consequences of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity is that when an object is in motion, it experiences time more slowly than things motionless or moving at a slower speed. And the ...

Time is often treated as constant, but Einstein showed that it isn’t. Speed and gravity both affect how fast time moves, and ...

Einstein's theory of relativity has all sorts of weird results that make it difficult to wrap your head around, but one of the weirdest is time dilation. Basically, according to relativity, if you ...

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 ...

A new theoretical paper has tackled the phenomenon of quantum decoherence, the process by which objects slip out of the quantum world and start behaving classically. The paper approaches this in a new ...

Time dilation is possibly the weirdest part of Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity. According to time dilation, the faster you travel, the slower your time moves. But why does this happen? It’s ...

Why do we not see everyday objects in quantum superpositions? The answer to that long-standing question may partly lie with gravity. So says a group of physicists in Austria, which has shown ...
