Gravity is invisible, yet it governs the cosmos, warping spacetime and bending light. This video explores Einstein’s general ...

Of the more than 4,500 stars known to have planets, one puzzling statistic stands out. Even though nearly all stars are expected to have planets and ...

The second paper, "Fermion Chirality from Non-Bipartite Topology," applies this same lattice geometry to the quantum world. It proposes that the "handedness" (chirality) of subatomic particles is not ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

The big thinkers at Aperture explain relativity and how it warps the fabric of spacetime.

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

Vladimir Fock occupies a distinctive place in the history of twentieth-century science, not only for his profound ...

Cosmic strings and Einstein’s relativity raise the theoretical possibility of time travel within modern physics.

Like stretch marks left on skin that expanded too quickly or cracks embedded in freezing ice, cosmic strings are artifacts of ...
