For over a century, scientists have been intrigued to decode the perplexing scenery behind contemporary physics. It's been up for many years, and yet the experts still have no idea how to bridge the ...

Astronomers have identified the birth of a magnetar, a hyper-magnetized neutron star, by detecting a subtle warping of ...

For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the ...

Einstein was right: artist's impression of a neutron-star merger. (Courtesy: NASA) Multimessenger observations of neutron stars have been used by astrophysicists in the US to put Einstein’s general ...

What makes the newest warp-drive proposal notable is not speed, but restraint. For three decades, the standard obstacle in ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of gravity, which explains the behavior of stars, planets, and the structure of the ...

Scientists worldwide respond to the publication of the three-volume monograph “Quantum Model of the Universe” #Physics ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...

A millimeter might not seem like much. But even a distance that small can alter the flow of time. “This is fantastic,” says theoretical physicist Marianna Safronova of the University of Delaware in ...

Susskind, a physics professor at Stanford, and Cabannas, a former MIT math professor, offer an overview of Einstein’s theory of general relativity in this survey for specialists, the fourth volume of ...

One of the biggest problems with physics is that, apart from a few mysteries we cannot adequately explain, the things we do understand work extremely well. Too well, in fact, for our comfort. Almost ...
