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 ...

The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth space-time with the jittery world of quantum mechanics. A new wave of ...

A group of physicists just built a tiny model of a wormhole on a quantum computer and sent a qubit — a quantum unit of information — through it. It’s a tiny step, but it could be the first step toward ...

Cavendish-like: A schematic diagram of the proposed experiment on gravitational interaction between two torsion balances. Two torsion pendula are placed with their equilibrium orientations (dashed ...

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, SWITZERLAND, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In recent decades, physics has entered a period of rapid expansion in empirical knowledge ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...
