2021 – Jun Ye and his team measure gravitational redshift with an accuracy of 7.6 × 10 −21 using an ultracold cloud of 100,000 strontium atoms in an optical lattice. [296] [297] 2021 – EHT measures the polarization of the ring of M87*, [298] and other properties of the magnetic field in its vicinity. [299]
General relativity is a theory of gravitation that was developed by Albert Einstein between 1907 and 1915, with contributions by many others after 1915. According to general relativity, the observed gravitational attraction between masses results from the warping of space and time by those masses.

For a more detailed timeline of aether theories – e.g. their emergence with the wave theory of light – see a separate article. Also, not all experiments are listed here – repetitions, even with much higher precision than the original, are mentioned only if they influence or challenge the opinions at their time.
1964 — Hong-Yee Chiu coins the word quasar for a 'quasi-stellar radio source' in his article in Physics Today 1964 — The first recorded use of the term "black hole", by journalist Ann Ewing 1965 — Ezra T. Newman , E. Couch, K. Chinnapared, A. Exton, A. Prakash, and Robert Torrence solve the Einstein–Maxwell field equations for charged ...
This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.
In Indian philosophy, Maharishi Kanada was the first to systematically develop a theory of atomism around 200 BCE [3] though some authors have allotted him an earlier era in the 6th century BCE. [4] [5] It was further elaborated by the Buddhist atomists Dharmakirti and Dignāga during the 1st millennium CE. [6]
