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 ...

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 ...

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.

Gravity used to be the most dependable rule in the cosmic rulebook, the quiet background force that never changed its mind. Now a series of discoveries and bold claims are turning that certainty into ...

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 ...

Russia has quietly taken a bold step toward solving one of spaceflight’s oldest problems by patenting a space station design that could generate its own gravity-like pull. The concept, which arrives ...
