A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

I began graduate study in 1975, the midpoint of the first 100 years of quantum mechanics, 50 years ago and 50 years after the ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy.

It’s been 100 years since a young German unlocked the mysteries of quantum mechanics. See how that gave us smartphones, GPS, ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU ...

These were derived in part from classical mechanics, from applying the precepts of Albert Einstein’s 1905 special theory of relativity to atomic electrons, and by introducing more quantum ideas ...

A team of physicists have discovered a new approach that redefines the conception of a black hole by mapping out their ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time ...

Besides quantum theory, general relativity is one of two pillars of modern physics – our working theory of gravity and of the very large, of planets, galaxies and the universe as a whole.

Famed physicist Stephen Hawking took gravity to its ultimate limits. In doing so, he made a number of significant ...

Unlike relativity, quantum theory doesn’t see time as something woven into reality. Instead, it treats time as an external parameter, like a stopwatch running outside of the quantum world.
