Dubbing these “closed timelike geodesics” (CTGs), Ralph and Sajeendran explain in the paper: “Such a CTG would be ideal for ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The id ...

Scientists in Wales have built the world’s most sensitive table-top interferometer, which is a miniature, ultra-precise ...

Star Trek's iconic warp drive, once pure science fiction, is now inspiring real-world astrophysicists. Scientists are developing theoretical models t ...

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors ...

What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

One of the most awkward parts of writing a book is that, eventually, authors have to ask people for “blurbs” – the endorsements that you see on the cover of a book, encouraging you to buy it. I am now ...

Researchers in Germany have now directly observed this wobble with the highest precision yet thanks to a large ring laser gyroscope they developed for this purpose. The instrument, which is located in ...

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you’ll ...
