There are gazillions of different possible universes that can be described and understood using the tools provided by string ...

Could reality be made of more dimensions than those we perceive? The question has consumed some of the most brilliant physics ...

String theory unifies all the forces of nature. Forces that seem very different, such as gravity and electricity, are deeply ...

If extra dimensions of space exist, they must be smaller than about half the width of a human hair, according to new measurements of the strength of gravity at short distances. Researchers found that ...

Stop. Look around. All things, visible or not, are made of particles so tiny that many find their sizes difficult to comprehend. Far removed from our everyday experiences, they move at rapid speeds ...

Imagine a world unified by a single scientific principle, something that can explain life’s greatest mysteries, from the origin of space and time to gravity and smaller matters, like daydreams. Now ...
