Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Scientists have determined a way to measure gravity on microscopic levels, perhaps bringing them closer to forming a theory of "quantum gravity" and to solving some major cosmic mysteries. Quantum ...

The reconciliation of general relativity and quantum mechanics is one of the biggest challenges in science, one that continues to elude us. Now, a new study by Anjun Chu and colleagues has examined ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Breakthroughs in science often begin with a simple question and years of tireless exploration. From the way tiny molecules slip through microscopic pores to the staggering behavior of matter near ...

Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and importantly, outlines a way to test it experimentally. Over the past century or so, quantum ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

A null boundary carries a degenerate signature (0++) metric, which is obtained by taking the pull-back of the four-dimensional line element to the boundary. Credit: Classical and Quantum Gravity (2025 ...

Some random article came up on google for me about how there is a new attempt to reconcile both QM and Relativity through some space time dimension field. The point being that wouldn't such a theory ...

Even if it turns out that time loops never take shape, studying them provides key insights into the deepest rules of reality.

When studying a complex system, scientists identify smaller pieces called subsystems that they can make sense of. By studying subsystems and the correlations between them, they reconstruct an ...
