"Relativistic mass" is more of a pedagogic tool than an accurate representation of the universe (at least according to professors whom I trust). Just because gamma (relativistic scaling parameter) ...

Research published recently in the journal Nature Communications considers the influence of the quantum mechanics concept of superposition on timekeeping. Superposition refers to the ability of an ...

In a dual set of papers published in Science last week, an international group of researchers presented an experiment which used relativistic time dilation to measure the curvature of spacetime. The ...

A new software package detailed by Chinese scientists promises to tell what time it is on the moon, accounting for effects of ...

Physicists from JILA — a CU Boulder and National Institute of Standards and Technology institute — were able to measure an effect called time dilation at the smallest scale ever, which they say could ...

Cool research story with connections to atomic clocks, Einstein and quantum mechanics. The research shows the 'spooky' interference that can impact even the most sophisticated clocks. A phenomenon of ...

As with any theoretical work, the real test comes when it can... well, be tested. The authors use the final section of their paper to discuss possible tests. Click to expand... This is the key why I ...
