Most of today’s leading theoretical physicists have a shared perspective about what the next revolution in physics will look like. They think reconciling Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity describes gravity as the warping of space-time geometry by mass, a concept distinct from Isaac Newton's absolute space and time, and has been empirically ...

Physicists have recently proposed a radical idea that challenges our understanding of the universe. They suggest that spacetime, a fundamental concept in physics, may be an illusion emerging from ...

Researchers suggest that tiny wormholes could be punching microscopic holes through the fabric of space-time, Live Science reports, thereby driving the accelerating expansion of the universe. For ...

Neil deGrasse Tyson unravels the mystery of wormholes—cosmic tunnels that could connect distant parts of the universe. Are ...

If you wave your hand in front of your face, you won’t notice anything particularly interesting. Perhaps a gentle waft of air against your cheek – that’s about it. No epiphany. No major sign that ...
