Time is not absolute, with gravity and velocity affecting how fast it passes, making clocks at different heights or near ...

A recent experiment at Fermilab has delivered intriguing results that challenge standard predictions, adding fuel to the ...

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 ...

Physicists from Swansea University have played the leading role in a scientific breakthrough at CERN, developing an ...

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 ...

If, for some reason, we as a society executed villains by firing them into the Sun, this is how an astronomers says we would ...

"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 ...

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 ...

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

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