Unifying quantum mechanics with general relativity is the ultimate dream — or nightmare — of physics. It would be a way to finally describe the force of gravity with the tools of quantum mechanics, ...

How confusing inevitability with reality built decades of paradox. What if general relativity never actually tells us that ...

In a groundbreaking exploration of physics, researchers have revealed a way to extend Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity to accommodate superluminal observers—those moving faster than ...

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 ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...
