Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object ...

In this video, we explore Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, focusing on his insights into gravity and ...

Scientists are exploring a revolutionary theory that suggests human consciousness might operate as a quantum hologram, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a point of infinite density called a singularity. To explore these ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

"Challenging long-held assumptions is essential to scientific progress." A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have formed ...

The early growth of the gas giant carved rings that formed primitive meteorites and shaped the architecture of the inner ...

A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity. Eleftherios-Ermis ...

From dew at dawn to a foggy mirror after a shower, condensation is part of our daily lives on Earth. In space, microgravity ...

Harvard's Avi Loeb says interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may show forces beyond gravity. Scientists using JWST and Swift report ...

If you wave your hand in front of your face, you won’t notice anything particularly interesting. Perhaps a gentle waft of air against your cheek – that’s about it. No epiphany. No major sign that ...
