In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of physicists led by Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia ...

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...

Quantum gravity challenges the classical notion of spacetime by positing that the smooth, continuous fabric described by general relativity may arise from more fundamental, non-spatiotemporal entities ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

Scientists are exploring a revolutionary theory that suggests human consciousness might operate as a quantum hologram, ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An abstract illustration of quantum particles entangling. New research aims to unite gravity with ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the ...

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors like LIGO—has completed its first science run. The Quantum Enhanced ...

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

Something seems to be missing from the universe, and the favored model of physics calls it “dark matter” – but despite a century of searching, it remains a no-show. A new paper proposes an alternative ...

In 1915, Einstein’s theory of General Relativity unified space and time, revealing that mass and energy can warp spacetime.
