In search of a united scientific theory, a new quantum gravity paper might have proposed an interesting aspect that made the ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

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 ...

Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two pinnacles of 20th-century physics. In their respective fields, ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity does a great job at explaining gravity but it is thought to be incomplete ...

Scientists have determined a way to measure gravity on microscopic levels, perhaps bringing them closer to forming a theory of "quantum gravity" and to solving some major cosmic mysteries. Quantum ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
