Trying to solve quantum gravity is frustrating. We have made tremendous progress in quantum theory, but it seems that every ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

Diagrammatic representation of the entropic quantum gravity action. The action for gravity is given by the quantum relative entropy between the metric of the manifold and the metric induced by the ...

A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all. Instead, it could arise from entropy, a measure of disorder. The theory, ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

A "New Theory of Everything" aims to advance and improve our understanding of gravity beyond what we know from Einstein's Theory of Relativity. For years, scientists have tried to combine gravity with ...

The biggest open problem in the foundations of physics is that Einstein’s theory of gravity, General Relativity, does not ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our ...
