An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...
Our understanding of the universe may be completely wrong.

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...
The Einstein equations remain the cornerstone of general relativity, underpinning our understanding of how matter and energy influence spacetime curvature. Recent investigations have not only ...
A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...
Planets orbiting dead stars known as white dwarfs might be able to remain habitable thanks to general relativity subtly altering their motion. When stars like our sun run out of fuel, they expand and ...
Scientific breakthroughs often stem from the persistent pursuit of understanding complex phenomena. From the nanoscale intricacies of molecular diffusion in advanced materials to the vast cosmic ...
There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.
