"A quantum theory of gravity is needed to understand what kind of phenomena there are in cases where there's a gravitational field and high energies," says Partanen.

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single ...

Watch the most terrifying and mind-bending aspects of quantum theory, one that scientists are hesitant to discuss: the ...

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.

“This work proposes that quantum gravity has an entropic origin and suggests that the G-field might be a candidate for dark matter,” Professor Bianconi told SciTechDaily in a statement.

"If this turns out to lead to a complete quantum field theory of gravity, then eventually it will give answers to the very difficult problems of understanding singularities in black holes and the ...

Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the ...

Therefore, quantum theory could not provide the ultimate description of the world. Albert Einstein’s contributions to the field of quantum mechanics are under-appreciated, says Aspect.

Physicist John Cardy and his colleague just won the 2024 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. We spoke with Cardy about conformal field theory, 2D black holes and coffee filters ...

New theory of gravity brings long-sought Theory of Everything a crucial step closer A quantum theory of gravity would clear the path to answering some of the biggest questions in physics Date: May ...
