Theory of relativity in action

In Interstellar, Miller’s planet orbits close to the black hole Gargantua, where gravity is so strong that time runs much slower. This is gravitational time dilation, a prediction of Einstein’s ...
Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object ...
