The Archive for History of Exact Sciences casts light upon the conceptual groundwork of the sciences by analyzing the historical course of mathematical and quantitative thought and the precise theory ...

Imagine a juggler tossing balls into the air. The art of juggling is a dance between motion and pause, where the ball’s speed ...

Mathematical physics is an interdisciplinary field that employs rigorous mathematical methodologies to elucidate and model physical phenomena. It draws upon diverse areas such as differential geometry ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

A bizarre "cosmic glitch" in the theory of how the gravity of the universe works may have been mended. The strange glitch in Einstein's description of gravity in his theory of general relativity may ...

Like Max Planck, Albert Einstein first studied mathematics because he was told that everything interesting in physics had already been discovered. But in 1905, Einstein, a young cleark at the Swiss ...

Albert Einstein’s “twin paradox” is a famous counterintuitive implication of the special theory of relativity, but it also reveals deep links between physics and philosophy, as Robert P Crease ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

For the last 40 years, a dedicated group of theoretical physicists has been beavering away on an ambitious project to create a quantum theory of gravity and unify the four forces of nature. Using ...

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.
