Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

General relativity explains gravity as the distortion of space-time. Quantum mechanics explains other forces using exchanged "virtual particles." Unifying gravity with quantum mechanics is a major ...

Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

Shini sits down to talk about how Newtonian Gravity is more than a little important. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini sits down to talk about the realities of the apple story and how ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Quantum theory and general relativity will only be unified when theory meets experiment Physics in the 20th century was built on two great revolutions: the general theory of relativity and quantum ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...
