A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

The discovery in 1998 that the Universe is expanding faster over time shook the foundations of cosmology. This finding challenged deep-seated assumptions about how space behaves on the grandest scales ...

Researchers have explored the interplay between gravitational effects and quantum interactions in optical atomic clocks, revealing more about quantum entanglement in precision timekeeping. For over a ...

An international team led by Japanese researchers has made a 3D map of 3000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth, and found that Einstein’s general theory of relativity is still valid. Since it ...

Einstein’s theory of relativity has explained the universe for more than a century. But under certain conditions, cracks begin to appear. Physicists have identified a gap Einstein never had the tools ...
