Humanity has achieved remarkable feats, yet 95% of the universe remains invisible and unexplained. Our theories, general ...
The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...
At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?
String theory unifies all the forces of nature. Forces that seem very different, such as gravity and electricity, are deeply ...

Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if ...
Kellogg Stelle was a professor of physics at Imperial College London for decades until his death last month. In 1977, he developed a particle theory of gravity that’s renormalizable, but the theory’s ...
New evidence from the gravitational-wave event GW230814 shows that when two black holes merge, the horizon area of the ...
Philosophy of science treats knowledge as ever-evolving, rather than fixed in place. Scientific theories do not need to ...
Researchers have adapted Bell’s theorem from quantum mechanics to help them predict financial crises before they happen.
