In search of a united scientific theory, a new quantum gravity paper might have proposed an interesting aspect that made the ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity does a great job at explaining gravity but it is thought to be incomplete ...

Kellogg Stelle was a professor of physics at Imperial College London for decades until his death last month. In 1977, he developed a particle theory of gravity that’s renormalizable, but the theory’s ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

George Musser’s new book finds resonances between the science of the latest wonder materials and string theory, quantum gravity, and the origins of space and time A new short volume by veteran science ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...
