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

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

About 13.8 billion years ago, the origin of the universe began with the Big Bang. Scientists say all space, time, matter, and ...

For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein's general relativity explains gravity as the bending of space and time. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

In 2022 three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for proving something astonishing: the universe is not locally real. In other words, particles don’t have fixed properties until they are ...

Researchers from the University of Arizona, University of Maryland, and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center have proposed a new method for achieving ultra-high-resolution astronomical images using ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...

Did you know that China has invested over $15 billion in quantum computing research? This staggering figure highlights the intense global competition to lead in this groundbreaking technology. Quantum ...

Over 85 years after it began, the Einstein-Bohr debate remains the most consequential intellectual rivalry in modern science ...
