General relativity is an elegant theory. The solutions to its equations are enthralling and bewitching. From singularities to wormholes it contains everything from zeroes to infinites. Experience how it feels to travel through a wormhole with a stunning video, and also learn about the maestro behind the artistry, the Reissner-Nordström Black Hole.

Black holes are the most intriguing bodies in the vast universe. When we think we know all about them, they come up with another paradox that topples our understanding. Read about why a black hole is not really black but it indeed emits some radiation.

Either it is Relativity or Einstein himself, both have always fascinated the whole world. But today, let's take the scenic route through memory lane, and do a reality check on the concept of relativistic mass.

Einstein came up with the special theory of relativity. He inculcated the transformation equations mathematically developed by Lorentz, rather than the Galilean transformation and showed that this was, in fact, consistent with Maxwell’s theory. This theory was a revolution in physics and it changed most of the physics we know today.
