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

Scientists push the limits of quantum mechanics, discovering light particles that exist in 37 different dimensions.

By observing tiny ripples in spacetime called "gravitational waves" that propagate away from colliding black holes, ...

Loop quantum gravity (LQG), co-developed by Rovelli, dismisses time as fundamental. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation describes a timeless universe shaped by causal interactions. Rovelli compares ...

This is called the “heat death” of the Universe, but you can think of it instead as the death of heat. There will be no more differences in temperature anywhere, which means thermodynamics shuts down, ...

A key tenet of LQG is the absence of fundamental time. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation, a cornerstone in quantum gravity, describes the universe without referencing time, treating it as an emergent ...

The science that was repulsive to an idea of religious belief thus began to embrace religious ideas culminating with the ...

Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights ...

These two properties of axions mean that they are exceptionally good at collapsing down to incredibly high densities, pulled ...
