For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

The team explores one of the greatest discoveries of modern astronomy - that our universe is expanding - and the new questions it raises about how the cosmos works. The team explores one of the ...

Scientists have found a remarkably small yet bright object from the early universe that doesn’t make sense in our existing models of how stars and galaxies formed, even our own Milky Way. That means ...

Black holes are one of the universe’s most enigmatic phenomena. They defy our understanding of physics, challenging our ...

This new theory proposes that black holes could actually be tiny "bubbles". This involves the conversion of matter into dark ...

If you wave your hand in front of your face, you won’t notice anything particularly interesting. Perhaps a gentle waft of air against your cheek – that’s about it. No epiphany. No major sign that ...

A new hypothesis known as the Quantum Memory Matrix (QMM) could help explain some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, including the Black Hole Information Paradox. The idea is that space-time ...

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you'll ...

Rob Coyne receives funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the US National Science Foundation (NSF). About a century ago, scientists were struggling to reconcile what ...

The early universe is perhaps one of the biggest mysteries of our time, and while we've come close to unraveling some of those earliest mysteries thanks to advancing tech like the James Webb Space ...

The fate of the cosmos may be a bit different than previously expected. For years, scientists have talked about how the universe is always expanding — constantly moving outward, never stopping.

About a century ago, scientists were struggling to reconcile what seemed like a contradiction in Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. Published in 1915, and already widely accepted ...
