Albert Einstein was well known for his thought experiments involving complex scientific ideas. Often he used real-world examples that helped non-scientists grasp his theories of relativity. He started ...

The faster you move, the stranger time becomes. By imagining how light travels to two people moving at different speeds, Einstein showed that time isn’t absolute. His thought experiment revealed that ...

To understand gravity, Einstein had to rethink space and time as a single connected fabric. He showed that mass bends this fabric, guiding how everything moves. NOVA is available to stream on pbs.org ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In 1927, Einstein used a variant of the double slit experiment – at that time only a thought experiment – to argue that quantum mechanics are wrong. Up until recently, ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to Albert Einstein’s instincts about reality. By stripping classic thought ...

Almost a century after the legendary debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, a team led by Jian-Wei Pan from the University of Science and Technology of China has brought the famous ...
