Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold new line of research now argues that gravity is not fundamental at all, ...

Research on warp drive has moved from a discussion of impossible ingredients to a problem of measurable geometry. A new theoretical approach by researchers affiliated with the University of Alabama in ...

Our understanding of the universe may be completely wrong.

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

If you asked an astrophysicist what is yet to be discovered in the universe, there’s a good chance they’d paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld: It’s full of known unknowns. Besides the regular matter and energy ...

An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...

The Einstein equations remain the cornerstone of general relativity, underpinning our understanding of how matter and energy influence spacetime curvature. Recent investigations have not only ...

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...
