Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

For more than a century, physicists have been trying to reconcile the smooth geometry of gravity with the jittery ...

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

Rybicki, M. (2025) Black Hole as a Topological Hole in the Fabric of Spacetime. Journal of Modern Physics, 16, 1799-1817. doi ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

Joining the sweeping theory of general relativity to the probabilistic world of quantum mechanics is perhaps the greatest challenge in modern physics. Each has been borne out on its own scale by ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...
