From the fall of an apple to the glow of the farthest known star, gravity quietly choreographs almost everything that happens ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting "spacetime ...

Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

When speaking of our universe, it's often said that "matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to move." This is the essence of Albert Einstein's famous general theory ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...

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 theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

The study of higher dimensional gravity theories represents a vibrant and innovative field in modern theoretical physics. At its core, this research seeks to extend the familiar four-dimensional ...

When molecular biologist Francis Crick tripped on the psychedelic drug LSD in 1953, his mind famously pulled together all of his previous research on human DNA to conceive of the image of a double ...

How to build a particle collider the size of the solar system. To observe the quantum nature of gravity and of spacetime itself, we need a particle collider the size of the solar system. Or we could ...
