According to the team, the new approach can explain how the universe's initial inflation can naturally arise. But it comes ...

Dr. Niayesh Afshordi, professor at the University of Waterloo and Perimeter Institute, draws the renormalization group flow for quadratic quantum gravity (University of Waterloo). Waterloo scientists ...

ABSTRACT: This work explores the connection between the Coupled-Fields (CF) model and gravitation, proposing a unified interpretation in which spacetime curvature arises from gradients in field ...

Quantum gravity is a research area in theoretical physics that seeks a consistent, predictive framework unifying general relativity with quantum mechanics by quantizing the gravitational field. It ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human brain? If you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our ...

Gravitons, the particle of quantum gravity, may be impossible to detect. To progress to the next level in understanding reality, we need to combine quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity.

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here. Researchers have found that physical networks in living systems follow rules ...

Since decades quantum gravity tries to close the gap to general relativity, but all attempts remain pure theory without empirical test. The present study now extends loop quantum gravity to a verified ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from established models. The study was published in Physical Review D.
