We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole new model to account for gravity’s influence.

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama themselves. A new theoretical framework now flips that script, treating space ...

Like stretch marks left on skin that expanded too quickly or cracks embedded in freezing ice, cosmic strings are artifacts of ...

Planets orbiting dead stars known as white dwarfs might be able to remain habitable thanks to general relativity subtly altering their motion. When stars like our sun run out of fuel, they expand and ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

Independent researcher and CEO of IDrive Inc., Raghu Kulkarni, has unveiled a groundbreaking framework for understanding the universe: the Selection-Stitch Model (SSM). The model suggests that ...

Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory. Created to account for atomic phenomena, it has a vast range of applications extending well beyond the atomic realm, from predicting the ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

China has quietly solved a problem that only becomes obvious once you try to live and work off-world: clocks on the moon do ...

A new software package detailed by Chinese scientists promises to tell what time it is on the moon, accounting for effects of ...
