The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

Oftentimes, we think of space as an endless, mostly empty vacuum, a silent backdrop where planets, stars, and galaxies play out their dance. We also think of time as something separate, a steady ...

If you wave your hand in front of your face, you won’t notice anything particularly interesting. Perhaps a gentle waft of air against your cheek – that’s about it. No epiphany. No major sign that ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense." A team of scientists has developed a recipe for ...

Banach space theory is a central branch of modern functional analysis concerned with the properties of complete normed vector spaces. This area of mathematics encompasses the study of geometric ...

A physicist proposes that time has three dimensions instead of one, which could finally unite quantum mechanics and Einstein’s relativity into a single theory. The theory makes specific, testable ...

Einstein’s framework for the universe, space-time, is at odds with quantum theory. Overcoming this clash and others is vital to unravelling the true nature of the cosmos Learn more about the mysteries ...

As 3I/Atlas neared its closest point to the sun in its orbit, the internet was abuzz with curiosity about the comet.
