Quantum field theory (QFT) is a physics framework that describes how particles and forces behave based on principles rooted ...

Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to ...

Speculative elements may not be necessary to explain the cosmos. A team of researchers, led by Raúl Jiménez, an ICREA ...

But researchers still disagree widely on how best to describe the physical reality that lies behind the mathematics, as a ...

Three scientists from the National Technical University in Athens, Greece published a paper in the journal Progress of Physics that details this slightly altered take on Einstein’s magnum opus ...

The question of a unified theory is so fundamental that it draws a variety of people with new ideas they want to try. These ideas may not be new to people doing this work every day, and who’ve ...

Forty years ago this month, the physics community was electrified by a remarkable paper that hinted at the realization of Albert Einstein’s long-held dream: a unified theory of physical reality ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

New ‘unified gravity’ theory makes Standard Model complete for first time ever AALTO, Finland — Scientists have potentially solved what many consider physics’ most challenging problem ...

It might sound strange to think about physics (which often involves a lot of theory and hypotheticals) helping people solve mathematics problems. However, physics follows many math patterns very ...

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist ...
