"Einstein used general relativity to explain a ~10 percent discrepancy in the precession attributable to the gravitational pulls of the other planets, ~43 arc sec per century.

Discover how Einstein’s theory of special relativity reshaped physics by linking space, time, mass, and energy in a universe governed by the speed of light.

When Einstein first appeared in The Times, casual readers might have felt as if they had missed most of a complicated conversation. A dispatch on Sept. 8, 1913, from Birmingham, England, noted ...

Albert Einstein was famous for many things, but his greatest brainchild is the theory of relativity. It forever changed our understanding of space and time. The universality of physics means that ...
