Physicists have long suspected that there is a layer of physical reality beneath quantum theory and a new mathematical model ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

Nobel Prize-winning physicist David Gross has issued a stark warning that humanity stands a slim chance of surviving another ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always posed a problem. Physics can describe a great deal about the universe ...

A new paper presents a take on the unified theory of general relativity and quantum physics that, sadly, goes nowhere. The paper is written largely by non-physicists and involves both incorrect terms ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...

A major obstacle in calculating the muon’s behavior is the strong force, the most powerful of the four fundamental forces, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak force. It binds quarks ...

It has been over a century since the boom period of physics exploded with Albert Einstein, Max Planck and others, sending us spinning into a new world of chaos from our previously ordered universe.

In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe, physicists are revisiting a 150-year-old theory that could illuminate why matter prevails over antimatter. This knot hypothesis, originally ...

Carlo Rovelli is a physicist at Aix–Marseille University, Marseille, France, and an associate member of the Rotman Institute of Philosophy in London, Ontario, Canada. Nature seems to have played us ...
