Tiny but ageing neutrinos can be used to test the very foundations of quantum theory at unprecedented cosmological time scales Schrodinger’s skinniest kittens Must the Schrodinger’s Cat be fat enough ...

A new theory suggests that the unification between quantum physics and general relativity has eluded scientists for 100 years because huge "fluctuations" in space and time mean that gravity won't play ...

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

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 ...

Quantum cosmology and loop quantum gravity constitute two intertwined pillars in the quest for a quantum theory of gravity. Quantum cosmology applies the principles of quantum mechanics to the entire ...

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

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

Gravity, long the sovereign force in the cosmic hierarchy, may be little more than a statistical side effect a byproduct of entropy, not a fundamental interaction. That is the provocative assertion ...

Tiny but ageing neutrinos can be used to test the very foundations of quantum theory at unprecedented cosmological time scales Must the Schrodinger's Cat be fat enough for us to detect the possible ...
