Monte Carlo methods are a class of computational algorithms for simulating the behavior of a wide range of various physical and mathematical system...

The revolution in literary form and aesthetic consciousness called modernism arose as the physical sciences were revising their most fundamental co...

Einstein's standard and battle-tested geometric theory of gravity--spacetime tells mass how to move and mass tells spacetime how to curve--is expou...

This is the first comprehensive treatment of active galactic nuclei--the cosmic powerhouses at the core of many distant galaxies. The term active g...

What does the passage of time consist in? There are some suggestive metaphors. âEvents approach us, pass us, and recede from us, like sticks and le...

Ross P. Cameron argues that the flow of time is a genuine feature of reality. He suggests that the best version of the A-Theory is a version of the...

Universally recognized as bringing about a revolutionary transformation of the notions of space, time, and motion in physics, Einstein's theory of ...

Black holes may obliterate most things that come near them, but they saved the theory of general relativity. Einstein's theory was quickly accepted...

Einstein's theory of 'general relativity' (1915) was a defining event for 20th century philosophy of science. During the decisive first ten years o...
