Einstein's theory of general relativity views time similarly to width, height, and length. As such, both time and space can be curved by gravity. This effectively means that time is slower the closer ...

Few ideas in modern science have reshaped our understanding of reality more profoundly than space-time—the interwoven fabric of space and time at the heart of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created the first time crystal that humans can actually see, using liquid crystals that swirl into never-ending patterns when illuminated by light ...

A team at CU Boulder has made a curious state of matter in which particles move constantly—like a clock with hands and gears ...

Physicists of the 19th century assumed that space was distinct from time – and two researchers now suspect they were correct to do so. Their conclusion, which comes from considering the behaviour of ...

Universidad de Murcia provides funding as a member of The Conversation ES. Expressions linking space to time are a common part of our day to day lives. You might say the morning “flew by”, or that ...

A time-to-digital converter (TDC) is like a stopwatch measuring the elapsed interval between two events with picosecond precision, converting this into a digital value for post-processing. Many space ...
