Time really does move faster on Mars, but the breakthrough that confirms it did not come from a spacecraft’s stopwatch.

GPS satellites experience time differently than we do on Earth. Without compensating for this strange effect predicted by ...

When most people say “When it rains, it pours,” they’re typically referring to a relatively small inconvenience, like a flat tire on the way to work or catching a cold before a vacation.

Research conducted by two physicists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US reveals that ...

Approaching a black hole unleashes extreme tidal forces, stretching and tearing apart matter, including planets like Earth, a phenomenon known as spag ...

Tracking time is one of those things that seems easy, until you really start to get into the details of what time actually is. We define a second as 9,192,631,770 oscillations of a cesium atom.

Tiny “Ferris wheels” made from light and extremely cold particles could allow researchers to test a facet of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity on unprecedentedly small scales. Theories of special ...

Oftentimes, we think of space as an endless, mostly empty vacuum, a silent backdrop where planets, stars, and galaxies play out their dance. We also think of time as something separate, a steady ...
