Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

For more than a century, physicists have been trying to reconcile the smooth geometry of gravity with the jittery ...

The brilliant physicist Richard Feynman once famously remarked that “nobody understands quantum mechanics” given the ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

Max Born made many contributions to quantum theory. This said, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1954 for ...

A century-old debate ends as physicists prove Einstein wrong using single photons to test quantum theory with unprecedented ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...
