The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Gravitational physics has become a truly experimental science as tests of the special and general theories of relativity reach new levels of precision Right on time When I was a first-term graduate ...

In physics, Albert Einstein is famous for two things: developing the theory of relativity, and hating quantum mechanics. Relativity is a colossal achievement, with the special theory of 1905 putting ...

Einstein was right: artist's impression of a neutron-star merger. (Courtesy: NASA) Multimessenger observations of neutron stars have been used by astrophysicists in the US to put Einstein’s general ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

For over a century, scientists have been intrigued to decode the perplexing scenery behind contemporary physics. It's been up for many years, and yet the experts still have no idea how to bridge the ...

First of all, the prevailing quantum theory, quantum field theory, is fully relativistic from the onset. Relativity is “built into” the theory, so to speak. And it’s the only quantum theory that is ...

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

In his discussion of accelerated motion on page 60 of "The Meaning of Relativity," Albert Einstein made an approximation that allowed him to develop the theory of relativity further. Einstein ...

THE preoccupation of philosophers with relativity, to the exclusion of all other branches of science, is very puzzling to a physicist; but most puzzling of all is their continual assertion that ...

Some random article came up on google for me about how there is a new attempt to reconcile both QM and Relativity through some space time dimension field. The point being that wouldn't such a theory ...
