A radical new theory suggests our universe didn’t begin with the Big Bang. It bounced out of a black hole inside a much older ...

These geniuses have not only excelled within their areas of expertise but also profoundly impacted human knowledge and ...

Enter modern physics. A branch of physics that involves more radical thinking to explain things at microscopic and ...

Finding out whether gravity – and therefore space-time itself – is quantum in nature has long been thought impossible. But ...

Multiversal concepts pop up in several branches of modern physics. In quantum mechanics, for instance, a particle exists in a superposition of all possible states at once—until, that is ...

Here’s how it works. The Standard Model is the most complete description of the subatomic world that has ever been created in modern physics. The model was built through the 20th century on the ...

Bringing gravity into the fold has been the goal of generations of physicists, who have struggled to reconcile the incompatibility of two cornerstones of modern physics: quantum field theory and ...

Newton's claim is obvious. He created modern physics. His system described the behavior of the entire cosmos, and while others before him had invented grand schemes, Newton's was different.

These superluminal particles, are the “enfant terrible” of modern physics. Until recently, they were generally regarded as entities that did not fit into the special theory of relativity.
