Euclid 'dark universe' telescope discovers stunning Einstein ring in warped space-time (image)The Euclid space telescope has, by chance, discovered its first Einstein ring, and it is absolutely stunning. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this perfectly circular Einstein ring has allowed ...
In order to explain this, in 1905, Einstein suggested in Annalen der Physik that light comprises quantized packets of energy, which came to be called photons. It led to the theory of the dual ...
