In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

We often marvel at the genius of Albert Einstein, a physicist who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Yet, even this formidable mind was perplexed by a grand scientific problem, one that ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

A "New Theory of Everything" aims to advance and improve our understanding of gravity beyond what we know from Einstein's Theory of Relativity. For years, scientists have tried to combine gravity with ...

The cosmological constant has been a problem in physics since Einstein, but new research may show why it takes the value that ...

A hundred times more than relativity theory -- "An act of desperation" -- The impudent Swabian -- The gypsy life -- Two pillars of wisdom -- The perfect instruments of the creator -- More heat than ...

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

Goebbels arrived in Berlin that November. He liked to recall it as a grand moment, something like Lenin’s arrival at the Finland Station with party members on hand to escort him before an eager ...
