From high school mathematics to differential geometry, general relativity, and gauge theory."I want to learn differential ...

(Phys.org) —Mathematics is, in essence, an artificial language for precisely articulating theories about the physical world. Unlike natural language, however, translating different classes of ...

The lecture will be held virtually. To inscribe into the learnweb course please send an e-mail to (heitger at uni-muenster dot de) or (raimar at math dot uni-muenster dot de). General Relativity: ...

We rarely doubt the existence of "time" and "space" in our daily lives.There is a universe, there is space, time flows, and matter moves within it—this is an all-too-natural worldview. Modern physics, ...

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

It stands among the most famous theories ever created, but the general theory of relativity did not spring into being with a single, astonishing paper like the special theory of relativity in 1905.

A numerical analysis of perturbations of a charged black hole suggests that the usual predictability of the laws of physics can fail in general relativity. Figure 1: Gravitational collapse of a ...

We are at a critical time and supporting science journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen scientific ...

One hundred years ago in November 1915, Albert Einstein presented to the Prussian Academy of Sciences his new theory of general relativity. It is fair to say the theory turned out to be a great ...

One hundred years ago this month, an obscure German physicist named Albert Einstein presented to the Prussian Academy of Science his General Theory of Relativity. Nothing prior had prepared scientists ...
