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 ...

Black holes form when an enormous mass collapses into an infinitesimal point known as a singularity. That compression creates ...

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm ...

Bottom line: For decades, physicists have been trying to solve one of the greatest mysteries in science: how gravity operates at the smallest scales governed by quantum mechanics. While we have ...
