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 ...

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether Albert Einstein or Niels Bohr had the better grasp of the quantum world. Now a ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

'No understanding of or interest in modern physics': Einstein (pictured) was criticised by Oppenheimer - Library of Congress/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images Viewers of Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-hoovering ...

Einstein–Rosen bridges may reflect a two-directional structure of time that preserves information and hints at a pre–Big Bang universe.

Professional physicists, especially quantum physicists, were not much interested in the rumored coming of Einstein’s new field theory. They had made a decisive turn shortly after the Solvay Conference ...

Quantum theory did more than simply revise our understanding of matter—it destabilized the idea of objective existence altogether. Particles behave differently when observed. Their properties are not ...
