A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

The field of quantum deformations explores systematic modifications of classical symmetry algebras that underpin our understanding of spacetime. These deformations introduce a quantum parameter – ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

A team of scientists has used X-ray and gamma-ray observations of some of the most distant objects in the Universe to better understand the nature of space and time. Their results set limits on the ...

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A new theory suggests that the unification between quantum physics and general relativity has ...

Most of today’s leading theoretical physicists have a shared perspective about what the next revolution in physics will look like. They think reconciling Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity ...

In the 1900s, Albert Einstein unified the concepts of space and time, giving us a useful new way to picture the universe. At the start of the 20th century, physicists had a problem: The speed of light ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

One of the most awkward parts of writing a book is that, eventually, authors have to ask people for “blurbs” – the endorsements that you see on the cover of a book, encouraging you to buy it. I am now ...

Champaign-Urbana art lovers and physics enthusiasts alike gathered at the Link Art Gallery Monday evening to explore physics-themed projects created by students from academic backgrounds across the ...
