Quantum theory has long treated time as a silent backdrop, a parameter that never jitters even as particles flicker in and ...
Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...
Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...
The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...
Large masses – such as a galaxy – curve space-time. Objects move along a geodesic. If we take into account that space-time itself has quantum properties, deviations arise (dashed line vs. solid line).
Scientists aim to build the first graviton detector to explore gravity's quantum nature, despite significant challenges.
