For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...

Lorentzian geometry forms the mathematical cornerstone of modern spacetime theory by providing a framework in which the causal structure and metric properties of the universe can be rigorously ...

When speaking of our universe, it's often said that "matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to move." This is the essence of Albert Einstein's famous general theory ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study suggests this mysterious ingredient may not be necessary after all. Using an ...

Physicists from the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) have been conducting research on the matter constituting the atomic nucleus, utilizing the world’s three most powerful particle accelerators. Their ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

The standard explanation has been dark energy, an invisible force added into the equations to make the math work. But now, an international team of researchers from the University of Bremen’s Center ...
