Decades ago, a renegade physicist suggested that gravity isn't so much a force as just a byproduct of the universe's tendency ...
At the center of each classical black hole is a paradox: a singularity, where gravity is infinite and the laws of physics break down. But a new theoretical breakthrough says such cosmic dead ends aren ...
Physicists are rethinking time itself. Long treated as a basic part of the universe, time may instead be an illusion—a side ...
A test using atomic clocks will watch superpositions ride Earth’s curved space-time and see if Einstein can play nice with ...
For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny ...
Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go ...
Is the universe truly 3D—or just a hologram? The holographic principle flips reality on its head, suggesting our world may be ...
At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...
