A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing that idea is challenging.

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Neutrino particles have extremely small masses, yet there are so many of them that they carve out the large-scale structure ...

The multiverse suggests that our universe may not be unique, but just one of countless others existing beyond our observable reality. Some versions arise naturally from inflation theory and quantum ...

Physicists suggest that a single, extraordinarily powerful cosmic signal detected on Earth could be linked to the explosive end of a tiny black hole from the early universe. That signal now stands as ...

Foundations in science and physics exist at the very core of the Netflix's hit show “Stranger Things," demonstrating to audiences for over a decade that our universe may be "stranger" than we care to ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

So cosmologists feel confident in modelling the universe using the “maximally symmetric” description of space-time in Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This symmetric vision for the universe, ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature—one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...
