A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

Light from a distant galaxy becomes warped as it travels through space-time gravitationally curving around a foreground ...

New research suggests time could hold the key to resolving mysteries of gravity, quantum mechanics, and other phenomena in ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

As far as we know, our physical world is governed by four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear forces, and gravity. Apart from playing with bar magnets or marveling at the ...

Time has an arrow: It only ever seems to move in one direction. The future is always unknown to us, while the past forever remains locked and inaccessible. And yet, the vast majority of the laws of ...

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 ...
