Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

The gravity quantum field is calculated in flat spacetime. The curved classical metric is calculated using the expectation value of the gravity quantum field. At long last, a unified theory combining ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

Quantum gravity seeks a consistent framework to merge the principles of quantum mechanics with general relativity, addressing the challenges of formulating a quantum field theory for the gravitational ...

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.
