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

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

Mind = blown.

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study suggests this mysterious ingredient may not be necessary after all. Using an ...

In recent weeks, a rumor claiming that Earth would “lose gravity ” for 7 seconds on August 12, 2026, has whipped up an online ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 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 ...
