Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly ...

Several physicists have proposed theories that try to unite quantum mechanics with Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

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

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 ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be ...

For over a century, physicists have grappled with one of the most profound questions in science: How do the rules of quantum ...

In their quest to understand the fundamental forces of the universe, scientists have gotten stuck on gravity. While the other ...

By modifying Einstein's theory of general relativity, the center of a black ... "We could no longer use the equations of physics to predict the future from the past and present," he continued.

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. A new recipe for gravity could help ...
