A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you’ll ...

Physicists of the 19th century assumed that space was distinct from time – and two researchers now suspect they were correct to do so. Their conclusion, which comes from considering the behaviour of ...

How bees, beer cans and big data all solve the same problem: not enough space. By Steven Strogatz Photo illustrations by Jens Mortensen Each installment of “Math, Revealed” starts with an object, ...

Two-dimensional hyperbolic topological pumping can emulate eight-dimensional quantum Hall physics, transcending conventional dimensional constraints. Furthermore, hyperbolic pumping trajectories are ...

A new theory of the fabric of the universe has proposed that time has three dimensions. Moreover, this model leads to the conclusion that these three time dimensions are the true underlying feature of ...

Mathematicians like to generalize concepts into higher dimensions. Sometimes this is easy. If you want to efficiently pack squares in two dimensions, you arrange them like a checkerboard. To squeeze ...

On the left, the schematic illustration depicts the gluing rules of the Brillouin manifold, with a half-twist operation connecting the opposing faces. On the right, the BZ is divided into 64 blocks by ...
