Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if ...

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 ...

Who is Einstein? This video explores the life and contributions of Albert Einstein, the renowned physicist known for ...

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 ...

Question: I read a brief history of time by hawking and I am interested to know why Einstein’s theory of relativity and quantum physics can’t come together to come up with a theory of everything?” ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Einstein’s famous tenet of special relativity — that time slows down on a moving clock — has been verified 10 times more precisely than ever before. The result comes from physicists in Germany and ...

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

Even with quantum mechanics and relativity, physics can’t explain everything. Three problems — quantum gravity, dark matter, ...

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