The question of how gravity interacts with the quantum world has long perplexed physicists, but a non-quantum theory of space ...

Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful ...

For over a century, scientists have thought of time as a fundamental property of the universe. But the more researchers seek ...

Gravity, the force that attracts objects toward each other, is currently framed by Albert Einstein's theory of general ...

Scientists have redefined gravity to explain the Big Bang and perhaps change our picture of the earliest moments of the cosmos. This new framework of "quantum gravity" may explain aspects of the Big ...

A "New Theory of Everything" aims to advance and improve our understanding of gravity beyond what we know from Einstein's Theory of Relativity. For years, scientists have tried to combine gravity with ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
