Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two pinnacles of 20th-century physics. In their respective fields, ...

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 ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

If we were living in a computer simulation, would we be able to tell we were living in a computer simulation? It's a question that's difficult to answer, but physicist Melvin Vopson of the University ...

Our universe would look so different, Kyle. You might not recognize it even if you could be here to see it. Unfortunately, there probably wouldn’t be a whole lot to see. I learned about this from ...

A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

New measurements using gravitational lensing suggest the universe’s current expansion rate does not agree with signals from the early cosmos.

What happens if you do a big jump? Your body goes up into the air. But then it comes back down again. The reason you don’t just keep going up, up, up is because the force of gravity pushes your body ...

File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe could be explained by modifying general relativity so that gravity has mass – or so thinks a small group of physicists. Matthew Francis reports What lies ...

If not in visible stars and galaxies, the most likely hiding place for the matter is in the dark space between galaxies.

Will the universe keep existing forever? An astrophysicist explains how scientists aren’t entirely sure, but they can make predictions.
