For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

Most current models of the Big Bang rely on general relativity along with additional elements that are introduced to make the ...

Now it seems that wormholes, those shortcut tunnels through time and space that Albert Einstein theorized and that science fiction depicts as portals between two distant galactic points, are at the ...

The lack of convergence between quantum laws and gravitation remains a persistent problem in physics. A recent advance, ...

Three physicists have proposed a modification to Einstein’s general relativity that, if confirmed, could eliminate the ...

Scientists at the University of Waterloo have uncovered a bold new way to explain how the universe began—one that could ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

Quantum Gravity and General Relativity represent two foundational yet traditionally disparate pillars of modern physics. General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory, elegantly encapsulates ...

A new physics paper proposes modifications to Einstein’s theory of relativity that could solve one of the biggest issues ...

General relativity stands as one of the bedrock theories in modern physics. Its strange view of relative time and space has been confirmed by countless experimental and observational tests, from ...
