A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.

Is there a time of day or night at which nature's heaviest elementary particle stops obeying Einstein's rules? The answer to that question, as bizarre as it seems, could tell scientists something very ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity may be over 100 years old, but a 16-year-long investigation of extreme stars has shown that it is still the best description of gravity we have. An ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

Special relativity is beyond weird. Among its many statements are that moving clocks run slow and that moving rulers shrink. But how are we supposed to make sense of this? When you purchase through ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you were a physicist in the early 20th century, there would have ...
