The universe’s accelerating expansion has long puzzled physicists. For decades, dark energy, an unseen force thought to make ...

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

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 ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

Dark energy, making up 70% of the universe, causes its accelerating expansion. Gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein, were detected from colliding black holes. The Event Horizon Telescope imaged ...

General Relativity, Einstein’s seminal theory of gravitation, remains a pillar of modern physics by describing gravity as the curvature of spacetime. Nonetheless, persistent questions—ranging from the ...

Under certain extreme conditions Einstein’s general theory of relativity seems to violate determinism, according to an international team of physicists. The group has shown that in a universe ...
