A new discovery suggests gravitational fields can enable matter to become quantum entangled — and that's even if the concept ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other ...

“We showed that if black hole morsels are created during mergers, they would produce a burst of high-energy gamma rays, with the delay time related to their mass,” Dr. Cacciapaglia said. “Our analysis ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

Quantum gravity strives to reconcile the seemingly disparate realms of general relativity and quantum mechanics. Central to this endeavour is the realisation that classical concepts of spacetime may ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s ...

The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than an idle science fiction ...

In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of physicists led by Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia ...

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 ...
