Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville have proposed a mathematical framework for a warp drive that operates without exotic matter, a requirement that has long made such concepts seem ...

The results reveal that our universe is reverberating with cosmic collisions. Some of the waves stem from pairs of black holes colliding, and others appear to have come from crashing black holes and ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

The tiny bots follow patterns of light and "artificial space-time," navigating like craft following the curved space around a ...

In the 1900s, Albert Einstein unified the concepts of space and time, giving us a useful new way to picture the universe. At the start of the 20th century, physicists had a problem: The speed of light ...

The geometry of spacetime forms the very foundation of modern gravitational theory, where the elegant interplay between curvature and matter is described by Einstein’s field equations. In this ...

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...

For over a century, scientists have been intrigued to decode the perplexing scenery behind contemporary physics. It's been up for many years, and yet the experts still have no idea how to bridge the ...

Quote of the day by Newton: 1915 changed physics forever. In that year, Albert Einstein published the general theory of relativity and reshaped our understanding of gravity and spacetime. For 228 ...

Although quantum mechanics and general relatively help explain the universe—at both small and cosmic scales—the two theories are fundamentally incompatible with each other. This has spawn theories ...

Some of the most extreme explosions in the universe are Type I superluminous supernovae. “They are one of the brightest ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
