A new recipe of "quadratic gravity" could help to better define the picture of the Big Bang and the singularity that existed ...

The biggest open problem in the foundations of physics is that Einstein’s theory of gravity, General Relativity, does not ...

Physicists are rethinking one of quantum mechanics’ biggest puzzles: how fuzzy possibilities become definite reality. New ...

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

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

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 ...

A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all. Instead, it could arise from entropy, a measure of disorder. The theory, ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

One of the best-performing models in cosmology is also one with the least physical rationale behind it. Columnist Leah Crane ...
