Sometimes the universe is just too complicated to analyze. Heck, if you take a tennis ball and toss it across the room, even that is practically too complicated. After it leaves your hand, the ball ...

The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum ...

Have you ever read a book that just sticks with you for a long time? For me, it's The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. There's a lot of great stuff in there, ...

Gravity is one of four fundamental interactions. The most precise description of this force is still provided by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, published in 1915, an entirely classical ...

Researchers have recently proposed the idea that we may have had two Big Bangs—one for normal matter and one for mysterious Dark Matter. It’s a possible explanation for why we have never seen ...

The study of gravitational dynamics interweaves the classical and quantum realisations of gravity, employing both traditional methods and modern amplitude techniques. At its core, the subject ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

Of the cosmos' four fundamental forces, gravity is the one that grasps us even before we exit the womb. From our first few minutes of life until we lose the fight to lift our heads from death's pillow ...
