A few weeks ago we discussed a new theory of gravity that has been hotly disputed and debated since it was formulated a few years ago. Now, a new set of astronomers has produced observations that are ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

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.
