Most current models of the Big Bang rely on general relativity along with additional elements that are introduced to make the ...

Other scientists have investigated the idea of a hidden structure further. David Bohm, a 20th-century physicist, built a ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward probing one of physics’ biggest mysteries—how gravity and quantum mechanics fit together—by creating the first unified way to detect tiny “ripples” in ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Physicist Brian Cox has rarely been shy about his enthusiasm for big, difficult ideas, but his reaction to a recent quantum gravity paper stands out even by his standards. He has described the work as ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at once, described by a mathematical object called a wavefunction. Yet daily life ...

Physicists have developed a novel approach to solving one of the most persistent problems in theoretical physics: uniting gravity with the quantum world. In a recent paper published in the journal ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
