The universe’s accelerating expansion has long puzzled physicists. For decades, dark energy, an unseen force thought to make ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

To progress to the next level in understanding reality, we need to combine quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

The rapid acceleration of the universe’s expansion continues to challenge our understanding of fundamental physics. Why the ...

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that describe gravity, quantum fields and the structure of spacetime now allow ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...

In this last part of our series on recently digitized books from the Wenner Collection, we are focusing on works that ...

A bizarre "cosmic glitch" in the theory of how the gravity of the universe works may have been mended. The strange glitch in Einstein's description of gravity in his theory of general relativity may ...

What exactly is … everything? What is space-time? At one extreme, you’ve got the weird rules of quantum physics that deal with subatomic particles. At the other extreme, you’ve got the vast expanses ...

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...
