Scientists at the University of Waterloo have uncovered a bold new way to explain how the universe began—one that could ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The nearby Andromeda galaxy with older stars highlighted in blue. A new theory of quantum gravity could help explain why more ...

A team of physicists have proposed a new idea for uniting quantum mechanics and gravity, which they believe could explain the ...

Most current models of the Big Bang rely on general relativity along with additional elements that are introduced to make the ...

Researchers have developed a method to model a central theory of quantum gravity in the laboratory. Their goal: to decipher previously unexplained phenomena in the quantum world. Gravity is no longer ...

Quantum gravity is the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics, the yet-to-be-discovered key to a unified theory capable of explaining both the infinitely large and the ...

A new study has been published that further complicates the argument that gravity could be explained using quantum entanglement. If true, this could further complicate efforts to explain how gravity ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

A new physics paper proposes modifications to Einstein’s theory of relativity that could solve one of the biggest issues ...
