If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

Galaxies like the Milky Way boast more than spirals; they also have feathers, where clumps of new stars are born. Astronomers ...

Ask almost any physicist what the most frustrating problem is in modern-day physics, and they will likely say the discrepancy between general relativity and quantum mechanics. That discrepancy has ...

Then, there's the fact that Einstein's theory of gravity won't "play nice" with quantum physics. The new framework — or "recipe" for gravity, if you will — takes the metric of spacetime from ...

One of the world’s leading scientific journals recognizes physicist Igor Pikovski’s work on a method to detect gravitational ...

Scientists propose a relatively simple yet still complicated tabletop experiment to test the quantumness of gravity, aiming to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics.

When medieval scholars sought to understand the nature of angels, they unwittingly laid the foundations of modern physics ...

A ring or sphere could, apparently, be stable if surrounded by the right sizes and gravities of other stars.

Last year, Jonathan Oppenheim’s theory of post-quantum gravity was the only theory that made it into my Best of 2024 summary.

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

Dark energy is a mystery so daunting that it stretches and strains our most robust theories. The universe is expanding, driven by the unknown force that we've named Dark Energy. Dark Energy is also ...
