A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...

For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the ...

It is one of history’s more irritatingly on-brand coincidences that Albert Einstein was born on Pi Day, as though the universe itself decided that if it was going to manufacture the patron saint of ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

For over a century, scientists have been intrigued to decode the perplexing scenery behind contemporary physics. It's been up for many years, and yet the experts still have no idea how to bridge the ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. When you purchase through links on our ...

For more than a century, Einstein’s relativity has set a hard speed limit for the universe, with light as the ultimate traffic cop. Now a new generation of warp drive research, built from normal ...

Before a beginners’ physics class at St. Louis’ Washington University, Assistant Professor Edward Lambe plugged in an electric device that shot pennies at a metal disk a few feet away. The pennies ...
