It's true. Muons - you know, those subatomic particles, also known as fat electrons - wobble faster than we suspected. By we, of course, I mean they - the particle physicists obsessed with things like ...

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity describes gravity as the warping of space-time geometry by mass, a concept distinct from Isaac Newton's absolute space and time, and has been empirically ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion of the universe.

Jan. 10, Tuesday -- Are there hidden dimensions of space and time beyond the four that we know? Could a universe in another dimension explain phenomena in our universe? Lisa Randall, professor of ...
