For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

Fundamental physics faces a stubborn paradox: the current impossibility of reconciling the rules of the quantum world with ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity does a great job at explaining gravity but it is thought to be incomplete ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics. Now scientists ...

Quantum gravity strives to reconcile the seemingly disparate realms of general relativity and quantum mechanics. Central to this endeavour is the realisation that classical concepts of spacetime may ...
