A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

BOULDER- Black holes, time travel and E= mc^2. They are all related to Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. How many of us, though, can actually explain any of it? This year, Einstein's theory ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

The French philosopher Renee Descartes took some time before convincing himself that he really existed. Or, in his words, “Cogito, ergo sum,” which is Latin for I think, therefore I am. While most of ...

Research teams on both sides of the Atlantic have shown that precise modeling of the universe and its contents will change the detailed understanding of the evolution of the universe and the growth of ...

Einstein’s theory of relativity has explained the universe for more than a century. But under certain conditions, cracks begin to appear. Physicists have identified a gap Einstein never had the tools ...

The planets around white dwarf stars might provide long-term homes for alien life, but they suffer from a fatal overheating problem. Who's going to rescue them? According to new research, it's none ...
