Relax, it’s only happening in theoretical physics—at least for now.
Most current models of the Big Bang rely on general relativity along with additional elements that are introduced to make the ...
Quantum mechanics would allow the Universe to eventually tunnel to the lowest energy state, or the ‘true’ vacuum, and that process would result in a cataclysmic global event. (CREDIT: Professor Zlatko ...
A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always ...
Physicists are still puzzling over the true nature of dark matter and dark energy, because they have inexplicably added 10 times as much mass as normal matter has to the universe. Looking at the ...
I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...
A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified picture of the Universe. GENEVA, SWITZERLAND ...
For centuries, humanity has sought to understand the fundamental laws governing the Universe. In the twenty-first century, that search has entered a new and unprecedented phase. Modern science now ...
