The applicability of Newton’s law of gravitation in the context of cosmic structure formation has been discussed extensively in the recent literature 6,7,8. In particular, it is now well understood ...

Using an atom interferometer, scientists have tested one of the foundations of Einstein's general theory of relativity: that time slows down in a gravitational field. Their experiment proves that ...

Observing time distortions could show whether Einstein's theory of general relativity accounts for the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
