Scientists at the University of Waterloo have uncovered a bold new way to explain how the universe began—one that could ...

A team of physicists have proposed a new idea for uniting quantum mechanics and gravity, which they believe could explain the ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

“A theory that coherently describes all fundamental forces of nature is often called the Theory of Everything,” Aalto University postdoctoral researcher Mikko Partanen said. It has been the physicists ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

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 ...

A new physics paper proposes modifications to Einstein’s theory of relativity that could solve one of the biggest issues ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Last year, Jonathan Oppenheim’s theory of post-quantum gravity was the only theory that made it into my Best of 2024 summary. Post-quantum gravity is one of the most ...

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...
