According to Newtonian physics, the gravitational attraction between two masses is proportional to the inverse of the square ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed ...

One of the deepest puzzles in modern science is how quantum mechanics and general relativity — the two great pillars of 20th century physics — fit together. Quantum mechanics governs the microscopic ...

The molecular hydrogen ion H₂⁺ is the simplest molecule. This simplicity makes it a perfect study object for physicists, as ...

Celebrating 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves coming from colliding black holes, LIGO has confirmed ...

Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Willie Soon claims a mathematical formula may prove God’s existence, reigniting the long-standing ...

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made ...

Discovering a machine that could somehow produce thrust without releasing propellant would be a game-changer for human space travel. There’s just one problem—such a device would defy the laws of ...

An exceptionally loud collision between two black holes has been detected by the LIGO gravitational wave observatory, ...

A decade ago, scientists first detected ripples in the fabric of space-time, called gravitational waves, from the collision ...
