Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

Oftentimes, we think of space as an endless, mostly empty vacuum, a silent backdrop where planets, stars, and galaxies play out their dance. We also think of time as something separate, a steady ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The id ...

New observations of two black holes merging have confirmed predictions made decades ago by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, ...

If you wave your hand in front of your face, you won’t notice anything particularly interesting. Perhaps a gentle waft of air against your cheek – that’s about it. No epiphany. No major sign that ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense." A team of scientists has developed a recipe for ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
