A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all.

Diagrammatic representation of the entropic quantum gravity action. The action for gravity is given by the quantum relative entropy between the metric of the manifold and the metric induced by the ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with ...

Breakthroughs in science often begin with a simple question and years of tireless exploration. From the way tiny molecules slip through microscopic pores to the staggering behavior of matter near ...

Researchers have developed a method to model a central theory of quantum gravity in the laboratory. Their goal: to decipher previously unexplained phenomena in the quantum world. Gravity is no longer ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...
