Godzilla, Tardis & Einstein: NASA redraws constellations to map gamma-ray sky (IMAGE, VIDEOS)
It’s probably the only time Albert Einstein, Godzilla and the Incredible Hulk will ever share an accolade, but the iconic figures are now part of constellations of extremely high-energy light sources grouped by NASA. The US space agency has mapped gamma ray sources from across the universe such as pulsars, exploding stars and black holes into constellations […]

Why Curie’s no Einstein: A subtle gender bias in science
Enlarge / Who’s this? If your answer didn’t include “Albert,” you’re pretty typical. (credit: Columbia University) When we talk about the most famous scientists, we’re often on a last name basis. For figures like Darwin and Einstein, first names and even titles like “professor” seem irrelevant. We know who they are, and a single name […]
AI Weekly: Watson, Einstein, and Sensei must die
What do Einstein, Watson, and Sensei have in common? They’re all brands that are supposed to encompass major tech companies’ AI features, and they all need to go away. It’s easy to see why a company would want to have a megabrand to represent their AI efforts — it allows them to consolidate their innovation […]
11yo British boy has a higher IQ than Albert Einstein & Stephen Hawking
An 11-year-old British boy has scored higher on an IQ test than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Read more The ‘genius’ benchmark is set at 140, and Arnav Sharma, from Reading, passed the notoriously difficult Mensa test with a score of 162 – the maximum possible result one can receive on the paper. Sharma’s score […]
Astronomers prove Einstein right: Stars can warp light
In a new study published today in Science, researchers achieved a rare event — simultaneously proving Albert Einstein both right and wrong. The scientists were able to confirm one of Einstein’s theories, something even he wasn’t sure would be possible. The study centers around an effect called gravitational microlensing. And the idea is that supermassive […]
Data mining astronomical records fails to falsify Einstein

Testing general relativity is a fraught business. The theory has proven to be so robust that anyone who thinks it’s wrong gets slapped around by reality in […]
15 Albert Einstein quotes that reveal the mind of a true genius
There’s a reason the name “Einstein” is synonymous with “genius.” Albert Einstein was one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, and his contributions to human knowledge are unparalleled. The physicist conducted groundbreaking research on how our universe functions, formulated the Theory of Relativity, and predicted the existence of gravitational waves a century before we observed […]
