When it comes to space travel, Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is a major inconvenience. With the laws of physics ...

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

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

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

In a new book release, two scientists combine forces to explain the discoveries, developments and theories made in the realm ...

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 ...

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of ...

it’s actually by far the weakest of the four known forces of nature – and the only one not explained by quantum theory. Quantum theory and general relativity in fact don’t get along at all.

Top quarks follow the rules of special relativity day and night ... of other smaller particles — always obeys Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity. More specifically, the team operating ...

By modifying Einstein's theory of general relativity, the center of a black hole with infinite curvature could be replaced by a highly curved but regular region of space-time, the researchers ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. A new recipe for gravity could help ...
