A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all.

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...

A unified theory of everything has long eluded scientists due to gravity being irreconcilable with the three other fundamental forces (electromagnetic, weak, and strong) described using quantum field ...

Researchers have developed a method to model a central theory of quantum gravity in the laboratory. Their goal: to decipher previously unexplained phenomena in the quantum world. Gravity is no longer ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

Quantum gravity represents the ambitious quest to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with general relativity, aiming to produce a unified theoretical framework that can describe the ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
