Gravitational physics has become a truly experimental science as tests of the special and general theories of relativity reach new levels of precision Right on time When I was a first-term graduate ...

Rogue black holes kicked from their galactic lairs are among the surprising predictions made by physicists using powerful computers to solve Einstein's equations of general relativity. David Appell ...

Carlo Rovelli is a physicist at Aix–Marseille University, Marseille, France, and an associate member of the Rotman Institute of Philosophy in London, Ontario, Canada. Nature seems to have played us ...

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that ...

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, ...

Researchers have explored the interplay between gravitational effects and quantum interactions in optical atomic clocks, revealing more about quantum entanglement in precision timekeeping. For over a ...

A South Korean physicist has proposed a theoretical framework that could support the unification of quantum mechanics and the ...

First of all, the prevailing quantum theory, quantum field theory, is fully relativistic from the onset. Relativity is “built into” the theory, so to speak. And it’s the only quantum theory that is ...

For the first time, a group of physicists has written down a warp drive concept that does not ask the universe for impossible ...

Santa Claus is not breaking the law. He is just using Einstein's physics to bend the rules of time and deliver presents to ...
