It isn’t often that physics produces news that diverts the mainstream media from politics, crime and sports. But, now, in the space of four years’ time, physicists have twice elevated the intellectual ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Spacetime is often described as the stage on which the universe unfolds, a four-dimensional blend of space and time that ...

Large masses – such as a galaxy – curve space-time. Objects move along a geodesic. If we take into account that space-time itself has quantum properties, deviations arise (dashed line vs. solid line).

Alexander Polyakov, a theoretical physicist now at Princeton University, caught a glimpse of the future of quantum theory in 1981. A range of mysteries, from the wiggling of strings to the binding of ...

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, SWITZERLAND, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In recent decades, physics has entered a period of rapid expansion in empirical knowledge ...

A link between particle physics and gravity equations, called the double copy, applies to Hawking radiation, creating a new ...

Quantum theory and general relativity will only be unified when theory meets experiment Physics in the 20th century was built on two great revolutions: the general theory of relativity and quantum ...
