This is where Emmy Noether, a groundbreaking German mathematician, comes into the picture. She found a breathtakingly simple ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

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 ...

An equation of motion in the presence of a drag force proportional to the velocity is derived in the framework of alternative ...

For over a century, scientists have been intrigued to decode the perplexing scenery behind contemporary physics. It's been up for many years, and yet the experts still have no idea how to bridge the ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...

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

The answer comes from a counterintuitive result of special relativity, a field of physics which is notoriously difficult to ...

Carlo Rovelli is a physicist at Aix–Marseille University, Marseille, France, and an associate member of the Rotman Institute of Philosophy in London, Ontario, Canada. Nature seems to have played us ...
