Physicists have taken a bold step beyond Einstein's special theory of relativity, proposing an expansion of special ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy.

Modern physics stands on two pillars: Einstein’s theory of relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics. The theory of relativity encompasses the gravitational force, one of the four ...

The problem is that, when they do this, general relativity tells us that all mathematical values go to infinity at the "singularity" at the heart of a black hole. This new research suggests that ...

Optical lattice clocks, the pinnacle of timekeeping, are key to exploring the relationship between quantum mechanics and ...

Besides quantum theory, general relativity is one of two pillars of modern physics – our working theory of gravity and of the very large, of planets, galaxies and the universe as a whole.

Miguel Alcubierre was able to construct a valid solution to the equations of general relativity that enable a warp drive. But ...

General relativity might have ushered in modern physics, but it was largely eclipsed by quantum mechanics in the mid 20th Century. Despite explaining astronomical phenomena far better, general ...

They claim that their theory can challenge the foundations of physics and change our understanding of the universe.

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU ...

Constantinos G. Vayenas explores the roles of neutrinos, quantum mechanics, and special relativity in baryogenesis ...

Einstein’s special relativity, which he formulated in his “miracle year” of 1905, was a theory that revolutionised our ideas of space and time – and ultimately paved the way for some even ...
