The connection between relativity and quantum mechanics has been a black box for the world of physics for decades. That partially stems from the difficulty in collecting data on systems that interface between the two of them. Relativity is the realm of the supermassive, while quantum mechanics can best be described as the realm of …
According to a new op-ed by Harvard Prof. Avi Loeb, our Universe may have been created by an advanced civilization, something we might be able to do someday too.
In their book, two Australian astrophysicists question the idea that our Universe “fine-tuned” for life, with some interesting conclusions.
In a new study, a team of researchers proposed that Dark Matter detectors could also search for the elusive force that is causing our Universe to expand (Dark Energy)!
Black holes have a pressure as well as a temperature, thanks to the thermodynamics of quantum gravity.
Using the XMM-Newton and NuSTAR X-ray telescopes, an international team of scientists were able to see light coming from behind a black hole for the first time!
Can waves of gravity be lensed by gravity? A recent study looks for lensed gravitational waves.
An alternative to general relativity predicts wormhole travel is possible, but only if you’re teeny-tiny.
A proposed experiment using super-cooled atoms could reveal the nature of quantum gravity.
Could it be that the reason we haven’t met any aliens is because interstellar colonization simply isn’t practical? Not exactly good news for us!
