The early universe experienced a phase of rapid expansion, known as inflation. For decades, cosmologists assumed that this expansion was powered by a new entity in the universe, known as the inflaton.

Our entire reality could – in theory – be built on a bed of sand, teetering on the brink of collapse. If so, a new device developed by a collaboration of physicists in Europe might give us some idea ...

For decades, black holes have stood as the most enigmatic objects in the universe, defying our understanding of space, time, ...

A visual representation of the Dead Universe Theory (DUT), showing the observable universe as a luminous anomaly trapped inside a massive gravitational vortex. Surrounding it are the dynamics of axion ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

With only one month to go until launch, Perimeter Institute’s Quantum to Cosmos Festival is gaining interest — on-site, online, and on TVO. Engaging content is available to preview right now at ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths generalize the familiar trajectories predicted by Einstein’s general theory of ...

Luis Jauregui, a professor at UC Irvine, is an expert in quantum physics who is smart enough to describe his work in terms that are foreign to a non-scientist, yet affable enough to explain it anyway, ...

The late physicist Stephen Hawking first asked me to work with him to develop “a new quantum theory of the Big Bang” in 1998. What started out as a doctoral project evolved over some 20 years into an ...

The Big Ideas: What Is Reality? As they probe the secrets of the cosmos, scientists question whether our reality is but one in a multiverse. By Michio Kaku Dr. Kaku is a physicist. This essay is part ...

Albert Einstein is known for his haircut, theories of relativity and belief that “the fact that [the physical world] is comprehensible is a miracle.” What he meant was that via science, math and our ...
