Imagine a swarm of fireflies, flickering lights on and off in the nighttime space. How does the human brain process and integrate information about duration and spatial position enabling this vision?

Researchers demonstrate that by shaping the spatial and temporal structure of photons, they can engineer customized quantum ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

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 ...

What does it mean to be to space-time? The seemingly simple question gets to the essence of twentieth-century physics and has driven a hundred-year debate between philosophy and science. In Einstein’s ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

Most of today’s leading theoretical physicists have a shared perspective about what the next revolution in physics will look like. They think reconciling Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity ...

This week, we dip into the world of sci-fi as Christina McDermott brings us two graphic novels and a novella that will transport you through space and time. If the current time and place are feeling a ...
