A new theoretical framework shows how subtle fluctuations in spacetime could be detected using existing interferometers.

Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

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 ...

The field of quantum deformations explores systematic modifications of classical symmetry algebras that underpin our understanding of spacetime. These deformations introduce a quantum parameter – ...

When speaking of our universe, it's often said that "matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to move." This is the essence of Albert Einstein's famous general theory ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
