Collaborate Disseminate
Thanks to Albert Einstein, the US Government wants to establish an official time zone for the Moon. It has less to do with jet lag and more to do with how gravity affects time and can throw a lot of very precise technologies seriously off track.Continu… Continue reading Theory of Relativity drives plan for Moon standard time
The booming alternative assets market space added yet another heavyweight genre this week as the world record for a business card was smashed twice today by both Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, and the auction still has four days to run.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Jobs and Musk smash auction records … and the auction isn’t finished yet
A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and importantly, outlines a way to test it experimentall… Continue reading Hunting spacetime fluctuations could unite Einstein and quantum physics
Scientists in Japan have managed to manipulate light as though it was being influenced by gravity. By carefully distorting a photonic crystal, the team was able to invoke “pseudogravity” to bend a beam of light, which could have useful applications in … Continue reading “Pseudogravity” in crystals can bend light like black holes
The term “once in a lifetime offer” has unfortunately become an advertising trope, making it difficult to cut through the clutter when something genuinely unicorn-rare comes along. The discovery, weaponization and use of nuclear power will remain one o… Continue reading Auction alert: ‘Atomic Energy’ signed by Einstein, Oppenheimer & others
A six-page autograph manuscript by Albert Einstein entitled “The Essence of the Theory of Relativity” is being auctioned tonight and scientific voyeurs might care to watch the fun as the heavy hitters come out to play. The auction will be live on the i… Continue reading Einstein paper heads for auction tonight – a bargain in the offing?
Wormholes are a staple of sci-fi, and there’s a possibility that they exist in the real universe. But how would they work? Physicists have now used a quantum processor to simulate a traversable wormhole, teleporting information between two quantum syst… Continue reading Traversable wormhole recreated in a quantum computer for first time
The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at different speeds across just one millimeter, the smallest d… Continue reading Physicists measure gravitational time warp to within one millimeter
This is the second part of a two-part overview of the 2021 auction year – a year where investors channeled more of their wealth into “investments of passion” than ever before.

A 54-page document handwritten in 1913-1914 by Albert Einstein and Swiss engineer Michele Besso, sold in Paris earlier today for €11.6 million (US$13.0 million). It’s not the most valuable document ever written by Einstein by any measure, but it is the most paid in nearly eight decades for an autograph document by history’s most celebrated scientist.
