A recent experiment at Fermilab has delivered intriguing results that challenge standard predictions, adding fuel to the ...

Quantum mechanics and general relativity are fundamentally incompatible for reasons that relate to views of the world that simply cannot be reconciled. In general relativity, space and time are ...

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 ...

A new study has revealed a novel effect caused by dark photons—hypothetical particles thought to make up a portion of the universe's elusive dark matter. This discovery, made within the framework of ...

Physicists have recently proposed a test to determine whether or not loop quantum gravity exists. Before understanding the importance of the test (or the test itself), first we need to understand what ...

This article has been updated to correct my confusion of loop corrections to quantum gravity with loop quantum gravity. Dark energy is the mystery du jour in cosmology. It is the name given to ...

Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a non-perturbative, background-independent approach to quantising spacetime that seeks to merge the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In this ...
