A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

Physicists have spent a century trying to reconcile the smooth fabric of spacetime in general relativity with the jittery ...

A new recipe for gravity could help solve some of the universe's greatest mysteries. It suggests that the concept of "quantum ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists could be wrong about dark energy. But they’re right about gravity, a new study suggests. Dark energy, the mysterious phenomenon that causes the expansion of the cosmos to accelerate, is ...

"Studying the rate at which galaxies formed lets us directly test our theories and, so far, we’re lining up with what general relativity predicts at cosmological scales." When you purchase through ...

Observations of the early universe made by NASA's flagship James Webb Space Telescope are challenging the traditional theory of gravity and how the first galaxies formed. This is the conclusion of a ...

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.
