Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

George Musser’s new book finds resonances between the science of the latest wonder materials and string theory, quantum gravity, and the origins of space and time A new short volume by veteran science ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity does a great job at explaining gravity but it is thought to be incomplete ...

When I was five years old, my family moved into a 1930s semi-detached house with a long strip of garden. At the end of the garden was a miniature orchard of eight apple trees the previous owners had ...

Ski jumpers use aerodynamics and physics to overcome gravity – at least for a while. Christof Stache/AFP via Getty Images If you or I jump in the air as high as possible, we can stay off the ground ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...
