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 ...

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

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

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

General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory of gravitation, remains a pillar of modern physics by describing gravity as the curvature of spacetime. Nonetheless, persistent questions—ranging from the ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our ...

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 ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a long-predicted phenomenon at the crossroads of relativity and quantum theory. Their ...

Michelson's interference experiment / by H.A. Lorentz -- Electromagnetic phenomena in a system moving with any velocity less than that of light / by H.A. Lorentz -- On the electrodynamics of moving ...

The accelerating expansion of the Universe, first observed in 1998, remains one of the most profound mysteries in modern ...

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 ...

“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 ...
