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 ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...

Quantum theory has long treated time as a silent backdrop, a parameter that never jitters even as particles flicker in and ...

A viral conspiracy theory suggesting that the Earth will lose gravity for seven seconds in August this year has left people ...

For the second time in as many months, images gathered by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) are raising questions about the structures of time and gravity, and the fabric of space. Using two HST images ...

What if gravity isn’t weirdly quantum at all, but rather … just a bit messy? The holy grail of theoretical physics is to find the long-sought theory of quantum gravity. But what if this theory is as ...

Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the elusive graviton—the quantum particle of gravity—whose discovery will finally ...
