A new study published in Scientific Reports simulates particle creation in an expanding universe using IBM quantum computers, ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet ...

A variation on the theory of quantum gravity — the unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity — could ...

The problems of gravity and acceleration would not go away. After thinking about the problems for 10 years, he published the general theory of relativity. In it, he suggested that gravity is not a ...

Sheldon Glashow has strong opinions about string theory. Like how it has failed in its primary goal of incorporating gravity into the standard model of elementary particles. How its inability to ...

- (physics) the theory that any two particles of matter attract one another with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance ...

This project explores a powerful connection between gauge theory and gravity, two fundamental ingredients in our understanding of Nature. It is clear that there is a close mathematical analogy between ...

His three greatest discoveries — the theory of universal gravitation, the nature of white light and calculus — are the reasons why he is considered such an important figure in the history of ...

The trouble boils down to gravity. It’s the only one of the four fundamental forces of nature described by general relativity, and the only one that quantum theory cannot address. Coming up with ...
