Research published recently in the journal Nature Communications considers the influence of the quantum mechanics concept of superposition on timekeeping. Superposition refers to the ability of an ...

Last week, we touched upon E=mc2, and how Einstein’s theory of relativity turned the world of physics upside-down. Now, we’re using that theory to show why the very concept of time may not be what you ...

Time dilation: It’s a staple of science fiction, and whether you’re familiar with the term or not, you’ve probably encountered it in print or film. Fly fast enough to the speed of light, and your ...

One of the most mind-bending aspects of Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity is time dilation. Time moves more slowly for a person in motion compared to a person at rest. This effect also applies in ...

Time dilation is possibly the weirdest part of Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity. According to time dilation, the faster you travel, the slower your time moves. But why does this happen? It’s ...

Oftentimes, we think of space as an endless, mostly empty vacuum, a silent backdrop where planets, stars, and galaxies play out their dance. We also think of time as something separate, a steady ...

Cool research story with connections to atomic clocks, Einstein and quantum mechanics. The research shows the 'spooky' interference that can impact even the most sophisticated clocks. A phenomenon of ...
