Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...

Mind = blown.

A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting "spacetime ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

The study of higher dimensional gravity theories represents a vibrant and innovative field in modern theoretical physics. At its core, this research seeks to extend the familiar four-dimensional ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a point of infinite density called a singularity. To explore these ...

Quantum gravity remains one of the foremost challenges in theoretical physics, seeking to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with the geometric understanding of spacetime envisaged by ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

How to build a particle collider the size of the solar system. To observe the quantum nature of gravity and of spacetime itself, we need a particle collider the size of the solar system. Or we could ...
