A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting "spacetime ...
Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold new line of research now argues that gravity is not fundamental at all, ...
The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study ...
In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...
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 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 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 ...
