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

First up, just pointing a rocket at the Sun and blasting as hard as you can would result in a wild miss. The main problem you ...

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

Kellogg Stelle was a professor of physics at Imperial College London for decades until his death last month. In 1977, he developed a particle theory of gravity that’s renormalizable, but the theory’s ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...

"The key result is that while many alternatives look very similar to the 'standard' black hole at today's image quality, the ...

Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

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

Dark matter may be invisible, but scientists are getting closer to understanding whether it follows the same rules as ...

“We showed that if black hole morsels are created during mergers, they would produce a burst of high-energy gamma rays, with the delay time related to their mass,” Dr. Cacciapaglia said. “Our analysis ...
