If gravity turns out to be a quantum mechanical force in hiding, it would change what we think we know about quantum physics.

We may be closer than ever to understanding the true nature of gravity

Hard Science

A group of physicists proposed a new experiment that could redefine gravity and transform our understanding of the fundamental forces of the universe.

We May Be Closer Than Ever to Understanding the True Nature of Gravity

It's an exciting time for those who pine for a unified theory of physics. 

A New Experiment May Finally Reveal the True Nature of Gravity

Physicists just discovered that some elements don't follow the normal rules of quantum mechanics

Research into the element berkelium shows that the Theory of Relativity explains its behavior more accurately than quantum mechanics.

"It's almost like being in an alternate universe because you're seeing chemistry you simply don't see in everyday elements."

Einstein’s relativity tells us it would be a disaster if we could.

The Unruh effect has been heavily debated for the past forty years.

We May Finally Find out If Deep Space Travel Would Melt Astronauts

After 40 years of debate, we now have the tech to put the question to rest.

The best detector of quantum waves is also the best producer.

Surprise! LIGO Makes Gravitational Waves

We need to add “generate ripples in spacetime” to LIGO’s resume.

Rethinking our assumptions in 1801's double slit experiment could be the key to finding a unifying "theory of everything," says this Spanish physicist.
Reconciling the two pillars of modern physics, Einstein's theory of general relativity and quantum mechanics, would significantly better our understanding of reality.
