Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...

Einstein explained that gravity affects each passing second. Clocks slow down where gravity grows stronger. Clocks speed up ...

Time may seem like a constant force, but according to a new study published on December 1 in The Astronomical Journal, the ...

Cooper and his crew's arrival on Miller's planet is one of the most pivotal and jarring moments in Interstellar. In pursuit of finding an exoplanet capable of supporting human life, Cooper and his ...

Physicists hope that understanding the churning region near singularities might help them reconcile gravity and quantum mechanics. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a point of infinite density called a singularity. To explore these ...

A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity. Eleftherios-Ermis ...

When I was five years old, my family moved into a 1930s semi-detached house with a long strip of garden. At the end of the garden was a miniature orchard of eight apple trees the previous owners had ...

New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead suggesting giant voids in space are creating an illusion. When you purchase ...

One way to longer life may be higher gravity—at least for rats. That is the “very tentative suggestion” of experiments performed by NASA Physiologist Jiro Oyama, who has been raising mice and rats ...
