Recent research shows that gravity and quantum information are deeply connected and that the shape of spacetime can be traced back to the way information is stored in quantum fields. Einstein's theory ...

For many years, the simplest view of dark energy has been that it remains unchanged. Throughout cosmic history, the ...

Einstein’s theory of general relativity describes gravity as the curvature of space and time caused by matter and energy.

A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all. Instead, it could arise from entropy, a measure of disorder. The theory, ...

Scientists have proposed a new theory that unites two of the biggest, and most contradictory, concepts in physics: Einstein’s theory of general relativity and quantum theory. The theory “challenges ...

Jonathan Oppenheim says scientists may be looking for answers to the biggest mystery in physics in the wrong place. According ...

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 ...

If there's one thing everybody knows about space, it's that there's no gravity once you leave the Earth's atmosphere. We all know that don't we? It's actually not true — and an attempt at a massive ...

Scientists have redefined gravity to explain the Big Bang and perhaps change our picture of the earliest moments of the cosmos. This new framework of "quantum gravity" may explain aspects of the Big ...
