If Einstein is still alive today, he could have been delighted to know that his theory of general relativity (GR) has been proven right again. A European research satellite (the Micro-Satellite à ...

Galileo’s most famous experiment has taken a trip to outer space. The result? Einstein was right yet again. The experiment confirms a tenet of Einstein’s theory of gravity with greater precision than ...

One of the most counter-intuitive notions in physics is that all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of mass, aka the equivalence principle. This was memorably illustrated in 1971 by NASA Apollo ...
