Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

If the recent discovery of gravitational waves emanating from the early universe holds up under scrutiny, it will illuminate a connection between gravity and quantum mechanics and perhaps, in the ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

Zone of divergence: A section through the centre of mass, O, of a planet and the single point, S, on the surface of the planet that touches its Brillouin sphere. The point O is the centre of the ...
