Can we create artificial gravity, or is it still science fiction? In this video, we break the problem down using real physics ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

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 ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

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 ...

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics. Now scientists ...

Despite decades of searching, the "dark matter" thought to hold galaxies together is still nowhere to be found. Matthew Chalmers describes how some physicists think it makes more sense to change our ...
