A new recipe of "quadratic gravity" could help to better define the picture of the Big Bang and the singularity that existed ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

The concept of spacetime, first described in Einstein's theory of general relativity, has since been widely studied by many ...

It isn’t often that physics produces news that diverts the mainstream media from politics, crime and sports. But, now, in the space of four years’ time, physicists have twice elevated the intellectual ...

Only about 5% of the universe is composed of normal matter that we can directly observe, while the remaining 95% is widely ...

Physicist claims to have the formula for creating and controlling gravitational waves iStock A maths researcher claims to have produced the formula to not only create gravitational fields, but also ...

This year is the 100th anniversary of general relativity, or more specifically, the 100th anniversary of the publication of a seminal paper that Albert Einstein wrote on the field equations of general ...

Despite decades of searching, the "dark matter" thought to hold galaxies together is still nowhere to be found. Matthew Chalmers describes how some physicists think it makes more sense to change our ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...
