Einstein was a great thinker who made plenty of mistakes—errors that sometimes led to more meaningful discoveries in physics, ...

But Einstein and his contemporaries faced a serious problem. Quantum phenomena are random, but quantum theory is not. The Schrödinger equation is 100 percent deterministic. It describes a particle or ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

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 ...

While quantum phenomena can be demonstrated using experiments such as the Double-Slit Experiment, certifying that a ...

One of the most basic assumptions of fundamental physics is that the different properties of mass -- weight, inertia and gravitation -- always remain the same in relation to each other. Although all ...

Researchers have unveiled a new model for the universe’s birth that replaces cosmic inflation with gravitational waves as the ...

A hundred times more than relativity theory -- "An act of desperation" -- The impudent Swabian -- The gypsy life -- Two pillars of wisdom -- The perfect instruments of the creator -- More heat than ...

Einstein's theory of gravity—general relativity—has been very successful for more than a century. However, it has theoretical shortcomings. This is not surprising: the theory predicts its own failure ...
