A new theory suggests gravity could possibly be the result of entropy—which would mean everything in the universe would fall ...

Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is currently our best approximation of how the universe ticks. But there are holes.

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study ...

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe could be explained by modifying general relativity so that gravity has mass – or so thinks a small group of physicists. Matthew Francis reports What lies ...

“A theory that coherently describes all fundamental forces of nature is often called the Theory of Everything,” Aalto University postdoctoral researcher Mikko Partanen said. It has been the physicists ...

Planets orbiting dead stars known as white dwarfs might be able to remain habitable thanks to general relativity subtly altering their motion. When stars like our sun run out of fuel, they expand and ...

In October 2015, a young mathematician named Clemens Sämann was flying home to Austria from a conference in Turin, Italy, when he had a chance encounter. He found himself seated beside Michael ...

The universe’s accelerating expansion has long puzzled physicists. For decades, dark energy, an unseen force thought to make ...

The rapid acceleration of the universe’s expansion continues to challenge our understanding of fundamental physics. Why the ...
