The Euclid mission, which will measure how the dark universe affects the geometry of the cosmos, is named after the 'father of geometry.' When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A new theory suggests that the unification between quantum physics and general relativity has eluded scientists for 100 years because huge "fluctuations" in space and time mean that gravity won't play ...
