A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

Famed physicist Stephen Hawking took gravity to its ultimate limits. In doing so, he made a number of significant ...

String theory may be our best attempt at a theory of everything, except that it can't describe an expanding universe like ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the laws governing the very small with those that describe the vast cosmos. Quantum mechanics rules subatomic particles, while general relativity ...

In a study published March 11 in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters, two researchers applied quantum mechanics to ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding ...

Last year, Jonathan Oppenheim’s theory of post-quantum gravity was the only theory that made it into my Best of 2024 summary.

In their quest to understand the fundamental forces of the universe, scientists have gotten stuck on gravity. While the other ...
