A new theory challenges the Big Bang, suggesting the universe began with ultra-fast bursts, known as temporal singularities, ...

Calabi–Yau manifolds are the six-dimensional analogous of a torus, a donut-shaped shape. While theoretical physicists are familiar with them, this is the first time that they have been linked to a ...

A Growing Mystery The discovery of the Universe’s accelerating expansion in 1998 left scientists scratching their heads, ...

The idea was first hypothesized about 70 years ago. In a bizarre repercussion of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of ...

A bold new quantum theory of gravity may finally bridge the long-standing rift between Einstein’s general relativity and ...

Einstein’s strangest optical illusion has been captured—thanks to lasers, a cube, and a bit of artistic inspiration.

The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of scientists on the so-called Hawking radiation. They calculate that the last stellar remnants take about 10^78 years ...

A team of physicists has uncovered a surprising new way to explore one of science's greatest challenges: uniting the two ...

The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three Dutch scientists on the so-called ...

Quantum ideas describe particles and fields in tiny packages, but general relativity paints gravity as smooth curves in space ...

New research challenges the long-accepted notion of singularities in black holes — the point where physics allegedly breaks ...

This mismatch has haunted physicists for decades, leading scientists to explore alternative models that describe black holes ...
