Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

The concept of time travel, filled with magic, has long danced on the boundary between science and science fiction. From ...

The research indicates that these 'baby universes' exhibit regular patterns of behavior over extremely long timescales, similar to a Poisson process—a mathematical model used to describe the ...

A decade ago, scientists first detected ripples in the fabric of space-time, called gravitational waves, from the collision of two black holes. Now, thanks to improved technology and a bit of luck, a ...

The reconciliation of general relativity and quantum mechanics is one of the biggest challenges in science, one that continues to elude us. Now, a new study by Anjun Chu and colleagues has examined ...

The third Quantum Gravity conference took place at Penn State University from 21 to 25 July 2025, bringing together ...

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...

Breakthroughs in science often begin with a simple question and years of tireless exploration. From the way tiny molecules slip through microscopic pores to the staggering behavior of matter near ...

Some random article came up on google for me about how there is a new attempt to reconcile both QM and Relativity through some space time dimension field. The point being that wouldn't such a theory ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

According to Einstein’s theory of gravity, black holes have only a small handful of distinguishing characteristics. Quantum ...
