Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly ...

Albert Einstein was born March 14, 1879 (coincidentally, 3/14 is also known as pi day because it’s the three digits of pi: 3.14). Known as the father of modern physics, he published some of the most ...
