- 1Novel particle beam could challenge Einstein's theory of gravity▼Novel particle beam could challenge Einstein’s theory of gravity
A newly proposed particle beam experiment could test whether Einstein's general theory of relativity holds under conditions never examined before, potentially revealing deviations from gravity as he described it. The report has drawn attention in physics circles, with discussion focused on whether such a beam could deliver a decisive experimental verdict on one of science's most foundational theories.
- 2Cosmic gamma rays put Einstein's speed of light rule to the test▼Cosmic gamma rays test the limits of Einstein’s speed of light rule
New research using cosmic gamma rays is probing whether the speed of light is truly constant, a cornerstone of Einstein's relativity. By studying high-energy photons that travelled vast cosmic distances, physicists are searching for tiny deviations that could point to quantum gravity effects and challenge the limits of Einstein's theory.
