Gravity doesn’t discriminate. An experiment in orbit has confirmed, with precision a hundred times greater than previous efforts, that everything falls the same way under the influence of gravity. The ...

A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

Papers related to the first detection of gravitational waves announced earlier this year were presented by a team of RIT scientists at the International Conference on General Relativity and ...

What exactly is … everything? What is space-time? At one extreme, you’ve got the weird rules of quantum physics that deal with subatomic particles. At the other extreme, you’ve got the vast expanses ...

In the early 1900s, Albert Einstein proposed the theory of general relativity, which challenged everything scientists believed they understood about the universe at the time. Over the years, ...

Physicists have proposed a modified version of Einstein’s general relativity, called quadratic quantum gravity (QQG), that could eliminate the Big Bang singularity and naturally produce cosmic ...
