A new theory suggests that the unification between quantum physics and general relativity has eluded scientists for 100 years because huge "fluctuations" in space and time mean that gravity won't play ...

From Newton’s falling apple to Einstein’s curved spacetime, our understanding of gravity has come a long way, yet this ...

The first-ever detection of gravitational waves was made 10 years ago today (Sept. 14). In celebration, Space.com takes you ...

Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes in September 2015.

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...

What if gravity isn’t weirdly quantum at all, but rather … just a bit messy? The holy grail of theoretical physics is to find the long-sought theory of quantum gravity. But what if this theory is as ...

Recent research has sparked a captivating debate among physicists and philosophers alike: could gravity, the fundamental ...

The third Quantum Gravity conference took place at Penn State University from 21 to 25 July 2025, bringing together ...

Quantum gravity challenges the classical notion of spacetime by positing that the smooth, continuous fabric described by general relativity may arise from more fundamental, non-spatiotemporal entities ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

Something seems to be missing from the universe, and the favored model of physics calls it “dark matter” – but despite a century of searching, it remains a no-show. A new paper proposes an alternative ...
