Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has released new breakthrough findings on one of science’s biggest mysteries — one that Albert Einstein once called his “biggest blunder.” In March, Berkeley Lab ...

One of the first verified predictions of general relativity is the gravitational deflection of starlight. The effect was ...

In “I Am a Part of Infinity,” Kieran Fox celebrates Einstein’s attempt to address the emptiness of a disenchanted world.

A stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals a cosmic mirage known as an Einstein ring, where the light ...

Webb captured an Einstein ring formed by a distant galaxy's light bending around a closer one. This rare alignment magnifies hidden galaxies.

Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts that light will bend around objects in space, so that they focus the light ...

“God does not play dice with the universe ... he would experience precisely the same downward force. Einstein imagined a beam of light piercing the elevator. If the elevator were rising ...

So much so that the cosmic phenomenon is called an "Einstein ring." Einstein rings happen when light from one distant object is bent around the mass of another, slightly closer and even larger object.

In order to explain this, in 1905, Einstein suggested in Annalen der Physik that light comprises quantized packets of energy, ...
