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 ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

In their quest to understand the fundamental forces of the universe, scientists have gotten stuck on gravity. While the other ...

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) is ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the laws governing the very small with those that describe the vast ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary ...

Physicists have proposed a radical approach that questions decades of belief about how gravity, spacetime, and quantum ...

Last year, Jonathan Oppenheim’s theory of post-quantum gravity was the only theory that made it into my Best of 2024 summary.

Ask almost any physicist what the most frustrating problem is in modern-day physics, and they will likely say the discrepancy between general relativity and quantum mechanics. That discrepancy has ...

Sir Isaac Newton wrote his theory of gravity in a home-made ink created with beer as a key ingredient, a study suggests ...

Another promising avenue is the study of the early universe. If the effects of this modified gravity theory influenced cosmic inflation — the rapid expansion that followed the Big Bang ...
