Albert Einstein's (1879 to 1955) contribution to 20th-century physics cannot be understated. His general theory of relativity, or general relativity, is still our best understanding of the force of ...

String theory, simultaneously one of the most promising and controversial ideas in modern physics, may be more capable of helping probe the inner workings of subatomic particles than was previously ...

Stop. Look around. All things, visible or not, are made of particles so tiny that many find their sizes difficult to comprehend. Far removed from our everyday experiences, they move at rapid speeds ...

Physicists who have been roaming the “landscape” of string theory—the space of zillions and zillions of mathematical solutions of the theory, where each solution provides the kinds of equations ...

Today's physicists are struggling with a quandary. They have accepted two separate theories that explain how the universe works: Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describes the ...

Modern multiverse fiction incorporates real physics equations and string theory principles rather than relying on pure speculation. Scientific Accuracy: Authors now research actual particle physics ...

String theory has long been presented as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the Universe. Yet, at the beginning of the 21st century, it became apparent that most ...

Lawrence Krauss, a professor of physics and astronomy at Case Western Reserve University, has a reputation for shooting down pseudoscience. He opposed the teaching of intelligent design on The ...

I just started the Elegant Universe which is about string/superstring theory. Now, I haven't gotten that deep in, but I've looked up some of it on Wikipedia, and according to what I can see, there has ...
