The quantum revolution in physics — whose 100th anniversary we have just celebrated — taught us that at the most basic level ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward probing one of physics’ biggest mysteries—how gravity and quantum mechanics fit ...

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 ...

This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Space.com's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights. Time feels like the most basic feature of reality.

For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein's general relativity explains gravity as the bending of space and time. Quantum mechanics governs the world of particles ...

Subatomic particles, gravity wells and the beginning of the universe – these are difficult and mysterious concepts that are ...

When speaking of our universe, it's often said that "matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to move." This is the essence of Albert Einstein's famous general theory ...

How to build a particle collider the size of the solar system. To observe the quantum nature of gravity and of spacetime itself, we need a particle collider the size of the solar system. Or we could ...

The field of quantum deformations explores systematic modifications of classical symmetry algebras that underpin our understanding of spacetime. These deformations introduce a quantum parameter – ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...
