Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

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

To understand gravity, Einstein had to rethink space and time as a single connected fabric. He showed that mass bends this fabric, guiding how everything moves. NOVA is available to stream on pbs.org ...

(via PBS Space Time) To observe the quantum nature of gravity and of spacetime itself, we need a particle collider the size of the solar system. Or we could just physics smarter and build one on a lab ...

A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity. Eleftherios-Ermis ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity views time similarly to width, height, and length. As such, both time and space can be curved by gravity. This effectively means that time is slower the closer ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a point of infinite density called a singularity. To explore these ...

This intimate look at the design, building, and operation of the ISS airs on PBS Nov. 5 and Nov. 12. Celebrating the lasting legacy of our planet's off-world laboratory since it was first inserted ...

Celebrating the lasting legacy of our planet's off-world laboratory since it was first inserted into orbit in 2000, NOVA presents a two-part exploration of the venerable International Space Station ...
