Bell's theorem, the well-known theoretical framework introduced by John Bell decades ago, delineates the limits of classical physical processes arising from relativistic causality principles. These ...
In her second pop-science book, theoretical cosmologist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein returns to her celestial and cultural roots.
The concept of spacetime, first described in Einstein's theory of general relativity, has since been widely studied by many physicists worldwide. Spacetime is described mathematically as a ...
There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...
New spacetime model: Researchers reframed Einstein’s equations to reveal gravitational structures that can remain connected during spacetime evolution, inspired by plasma physics. Conserved quantities ...
Spacetime isn’t supposed to be predictable, but scientists may have just found the rules ...
The quantum revolution in physics — whose 100th anniversary we have just celebrated — taught us that at the most basic level the world is bizarrely different than it seems. But, we appear to only have ...
Most of today’s leading theoretical physicists have a shared perspective about what the next revolution in physics will look like. They think reconciling Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity ...
Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...
