For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to be folded neatly into the quantum rules that govern the rest of nature. Now a convergence of bold ...

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

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

George Musser’s new book finds resonances between the science of the latest wonder materials and string theory, quantum gravity, and the origins of space and time A new short volume by veteran science ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity does a great job at explaining gravity but it is thought to be incomplete ...

Ski jumpers use aerodynamics and physics to overcome gravity – at least for a while. Christof Stache/AFP via Getty Images If you or I jump in the air as high as possible, we can stay off the ground ...
