When J. Robert Oppenheimer and crew set to work at Los Alamos, they were largely focused on the destructive potential of the atom. By the time they were finished, they had succeeded in making the most ...

Scientists using quasars as cosmic clocks have observed that when the universe was just a billion years old, time ran five times slower, helping to confirm Einstein's general theory of relativity and ...

Physicists at the University of Oxford in the UK have conducted an experiment that suggests the more accurately clocks tick, the more disorder, or entropy, occurs in the universe. The second law of ...

Scientists for the first time have discovered the early universe was moving in extreme slow motion, backing up Albert Einstein’s expanding universe theory. (Nature Astronomy via Courthouse News) (CN) ...

(CNN) — Scientists have peered into the early days of the universe, when it was about 1 billion years old, and discovered that things moved in slow motion compared with now. The finding supports ...

In a groundbreaking study, scientists have utilized quasars as cosmic clocks to observe the early universe running in extremely slow motion, providing further validation for Albert Einstein's theory ...

Considering that 90% of American adults own mobile phones, the practice of interrupting strangers to inquire about the time has almost completely disappeared. Since these devices are so prolific in ...

The discovery of an elusive flash of light from the nucleus of the element thorium, which physicists have been hunting for decades, brings us a step closer to building a nuclear clock. This could be ...

A newly discovered set of mathematical equations describes how to turn any sequence of random events into a clock, scientists at King’s College London reveal. The researchers suggest that these ...

Scientists have for the first time observed the early universe running in extreme slow motion, unlocking one of the mysteries of Einstein’s expanding universe. Einstein’s general theory of relativity ...
