Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Rogue black holes kicked from their galactic lairs are among the surprising predictions made by physicists using powerful computers to solve Einstein's equations of general relativity. David Appell ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Researchers report superluminous supernova SN 2024afav whose erratic behavior supports a long-standing theory of stellar ...

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 ...

One of the goals of modern physics is to determine the underlying rules that govern our reality. Indeed, one of the wonders of the universe is that just a few rules seem to describe many aspects of ...

Yesterday, I wrote about the core concepts needed to understand quantum physics, which is one of the two pillars of modern physics. The other, of course, is the theory of relativity, the full and ...

Among the intriguing issues in plasma physics are those surrounding X-ray pulsars -- collapsed stars that orbit around a cosmic companion and beam light at regular intervals, like lighthouses in the ...
