When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An abstract illustration of quantum particles entangling. New research aims to unite gravity with ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

Physicists have spent a century trying to reconcile the smooth fabric of spacetime in general relativity with the jittery quantum fields that govern particles, and gravity has stubbornly resisted ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

A quantum computer has been used to simulate a holographic wormhole for the first time. In this case, the word “holographic” indicates a way to simplify physics problems involving both quantum ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...
