Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to be folded neatly into the quantum rules that govern the rest of nature. Now a convergence of bold ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity does a great job at explaining gravity but it is thought to be incomplete because it is incompatible with quantum mechanics. This is an important ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

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 ...

(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 ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...
