Moon time is a thing now-here's why It matters

Understanding lunar time highlights the complexities of relativity as humanity prepares for exploration of the Moon.

Researchers figure out how to keep clocks on the Earth, Moon in sync

Precise timing is crucial for communications and GPS networks, affected by relativity's time dilation in areas of varying gravitational fields like Earth and the Moon.

Here's why astronauts age slower than the rest of us here on Earth

Astronauts on the ISS age more slowly than people on Earth due to gravitational time dilation, but the effect is minuscule—only fractions of a second.

NASA confirms it's developing the Moon's new time zone

NASA is developing a lunar time system to counteract the effects of relativity on time perception for future Moon missions.

Ask Ethan: Why are inertial and gravitational mass equivalent?

Different types of mass exist in the universe, impacting motion and gravitational influence, without a fundamental reason for their equivalence.

New warp drive concept does twist space, doesn't move us very fast

Physicists have found a way to build a physical warp drive that doesn't exceed the speed of light, advancing our understanding of gravity.

Star Trek's Science Advisor Reveals How Starfleet Quietly Fixed Relativity

In the Star Trek universe, the concept of warp speed and relativity has finally been addressed after sixty years, with a focus on how time flows differently for those in space and on planets.

Venture inside a 'monster' supermassive black hole

A new image of the M87 black hole confirms the presence of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Messier 87 galaxy.
The image shows the shift in the bright 'shadow' of the black hole over time, confirming predictions based on Einstein's theories of relativity.
