Disclaimer: I am very much a physics noob. This might be a nonsensical question. That spacetime can be curved or warped is something I can grasp, but I keep getting stuck on one specific aspect of how ...

Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

(Nanowerk News) According to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, space and time are inextricably connected. In our Universe, whose curvature is barely measurable, the structure of this spacetime is fixed ...

A breakthrough in optics could revolutionize the study of space-time and quantum phenomena, and make our ultimate experiment possible. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a ...

Einstein's general theory of relativity, published in 1915, relates spacetime curvature to matter distribution, leading to the Schwarzschild solution describing a black hole. The Schwarzschild ...

I've been trying to explain quantum physics, forces, relativity, and space-time to my kid and we had a question that I'm finding difficult to find a solid answer to. Background you can skip if you ...

In some ways, a wormhole might look like a black hole. And the wormhole would look like a sphere, not a hole. Einstein's theory of general relativity allows for the possibility of wormholes, but there ...

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 ...
