For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

Ever wondered what gravity really is? Is it a force, or is there more to it than we know? In this video, we break down the ...

A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have formed ...

In a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, scientists propose a comprehensive theoretical framework indicating ...

Will algorithms designed for interconnected computers hold up if some of the machines are not here on Earth but flying about ...

A new theory suggests that the unification between quantum physics and general relativity has eluded scientists for 100 years because huge "fluctuations" in space and time mean that gravity won't ...

However, all attempts to blend general relativity and quantum physics necessarily introduce deviations from Einstein's theory. Therefore, Einstein's gravity cannot be the ultimate theory of gravity.

I like to understand it in terms of three features: dependence, novelty and autonomy. The less-fundamental physics somehow depends on the more fundamental physics — space-time depends on the physics ...

There's a 100-year-old conundrum in physics that we're still yet to untangle, and it has to do with the very nature of space-time itself.
