Einstein's 'spooky action' goes massive

[ad_1] The elusive quantum mechanical phenomenon of entanglement has now been made a reality in objects almost macroscopic in size. Results show how two vibrating drumheads, the width of a human hair, can display the spooky action that famously troubled Albert Einstein. [ad_2] Source link

Mysterious radio signals from space are much better test of Einstein's General Relativity

[ad_1] A new way to test one of the basic principles underlying Einstein’s theory of General Relativity using brief blasts of rare radio signals from space called Fast Radio Bursts is 10 to 100 times better than previous testing methods that used gamma-ray bursts. [ad_2] Source link

Gravitational waves detected 100 years after Einstein's prediction

[ad_1] For the first time, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, arriving at Earth from a cataclysmic event in the distant universe. This confirms a major prediction of Albert Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity and opens an unprecedented new window onto the cosmos. [ad_2] Source link

Quantum theory and Einstein's special relativity applied to plasma physics issues

[ad_1] Among the intriguing issues in plasma physics are those surrounding X-ray pulsars — collapsed stars that orbit around a cosmic companion and beam light at regular intervals, like lighthouses in the sky. Physicists want to know the strength of the magnetic field and density of the plasma that surrounds these pulsars, which can be millions of times greater than the density of plasma in stars…

Theory that challenges Einstein's physics could soon be put to the test

[ad_1] Scientists behind a theory that the speed of light is variable — and not constant as Einstein suggested — have made a prediction that could be tested. [ad_2] Source link
