Scientists Test for Quantum Gravity
The tension between quantum mechanics and relativity has long been a central split in modern-day physics. Developing a theory of…
If Black Holes Evaporate, Everything Evaporates
Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes wouldn't last forever, eventually evaporating into a smear of particles. According to a new…
We Knew Black Holes Have a Temperature. It Turns out They Also Have a Pressure
Black holes have a pressure as well as a temperature, thanks to the thermodynamics of quantum gravity.
Wormholes Could Allow Travel Across the Universe, as Long as Your Spacecraft is Microscopic
An alternative to general relativity predicts wormhole travel is possible, but only if you're teeny-tiny.
A new Approach Could Tease out the Connection Between Gravity and Quantum Mechanics
A proposed experiment using super-cooled atoms could reveal the nature of quantum gravity.
Narrowing Down the Mass of Dark Matter
Most of the matter of the universe is of a form unknown to physics. While we don't know what the…
Astronomy Without A Telescope – Doubly Special Relativity
[/caption] General relativity, Einstein's theory of gravity, gives us a useful basis for mathematically modeling the large scale universe -…
