New Math Brings Us One Step Closer to Unifying Einstein’s Relativity and Quantum Physics (Updated)
New mathematics could provide researchers with a framework for a "unified theory" that will allow new methods of resolving several of the universe’s mysteries.
Clash Between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics Could Be Resolved by New Mathematical Framework
New research is offering fresh insights into the long-held divide between general relativity and quantum mechanics.
Controversial Dark Matter Discovery Could Upend Our Current Understanding of the Universe
A controversial new paper argues that there may not be enough room in the universe for dark matter, after all.
Physicists Hope to Finally Resolve Whether Gravity is Quantum by Levitating Micro Diamonds
New experiments to determine whether or not gravity is quantum in nature will involve levitating micro diamonds in a vacuum.
Breakdown of Standard Gravity Reported in New Study Defies Newton’s Law of Gravitation and General Relativity
The breakdown of standard gravity has been reported in a groundbreaking new study that challenges the theories proposed by Newton and Einstein.
Black Hole Simulated in the Lab Suddenly Starts Glowing, Potentially Pointing to a Unified Theory of Gravity
A team of European physicists simulated a "glowing" black hole in the lab, which they say might help confirm one famous physicist's theory.
New Measurements of Gravity Suggest Theory Proposed by Albert Einstein Could Be Wrong
A new study that used measurements of cosmic phenomena suggests the theory of gravity proposed by Albert Einstein may actually be wrong.
General Relativity Instead of Modified Gravity
The proper interpretation of recently acquired satellite data relies on Einstein's theory of general relativity, which still presents the best description of gravity as we know it.
Is Our Universe a Neural Network? This Scientist Thinks So.
University of Minnesota Duluth scientist Vitaly Vanchurin thinks the universe may be a neural network, and suggests a "theory of everything."
