If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding ...

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

Famed physicist Stephen Hawking took gravity to its ultimate limits. In doing so, he made a number of significant ...

However, some theories suggest that, at extremely high energies, special relativity fails as a result of Lorentz violation or Lorentz symmetry breaking. The laws of physics could therefore differ ...

Besides quantum theory, general relativity is one of two pillars of modern physics – our working theory of gravity and of the very large, of planets, galaxies and the universe as a whole.

Quantum scientists now believe time isn’t fundamental at all—instead it emerges from interactions among things.

A "theory of everything" that encompasses both general relativity and quantum physics has thwarted the efforts of minds as great as Stephen Hawking, and even Einstein himself. One of the major ...
