For the first time, a group of physicists has written down a warp drive concept that does not ask the universe for impossible ...

For more than a century, physics has treated space and time as the smooth stage on which the universe unfolds, a flexible ...

Spacetime itself would also need to be “quantized,” or broken down into constituent parts. This is what the notorious string theory attempts to do, as does loop quantum gravity, currently considered a ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

Astronomers have observed a star wobbling in its orbit around a ravenous supermassive black hole that is ripping it apart and ...

Astronomers have detected spacetime itself being dragged and twisted by a spinning black hole for the first time. The ...

A South Korean physicist has proposed a theoretical framework that could support the unification of quantum mechanics and the ...

A team of scientists has used X-ray and gamma-ray observations of some of the most distant objects in the Universe to better understand the nature of space and time. Their results set limits on the ...

For over a century, scientists have been intrigued to decode the perplexing scenery behind contemporary physics. It's been up for many years, and yet the experts still have no idea how to bridge the ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths ...

Champaign-Urbana art lovers and physics enthusiasts alike gathered at the Link Art Gallery Monday evening to explore physics-themed projects created by students from academic backgrounds across the ...

One of the most awkward parts of writing a book is that, eventually, authors have to ask people for “blurbs” – the endorsements that you see on the cover of a book, encouraging you to buy it. I am now ...
