Unifying conflicting models into a “Theory of Everything” is the Holy Grail of physics. Now a NASA observatory has conducted an experimental test, scouring the sky for evidence of a ...

A theory to end theories For the first time in the history of physics we therefore have a framework with the capacity to explain every fundamental feature upon which the universe is constructed ...

A crucial question about our current situation is whether we really are at, or near, the end of our search for what theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg refers to as a Final Theory ...

Moreover, the theory doesn’t yield just one solution. Instead, it offers an enormous landscape of possible configurations, each representing a different vacuum state with its own laws of physics.

Nevertheless, we get one. "We present Assembly Theory as a framework that does not alter the laws of physics, but redefines the concept of an ‘object’ on which these laws act," the authors claim.

The Connection Between Quantum Physics and Our Mind By analogy to the quantum physics theory, let’s explore our minds and emotions. The quantum theory says we can have superpositioned elements.

Albert Einstein changed the world forever 100 years ago by publishing his theory of general relativity. Relativity is now a centerpiece of modern physics, the reason GPS satellites and mobile ...

Gross, a supporter of string theory who won the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the force that glues atoms together, kicked off the workshop by asserting that the problem lies not with ...

As he explained in a recent article in the "Blackwell Companion to Science and Christianity" (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012), a foremost goal of modern physics is to formulate a working theory that ...
