Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

Advanced simulations have been the subject of fiction from The Matrix to the season two episode of The Twilight Zone (2019), ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

From Fundamental Concepts to Dynamical Mechanisms, by Wolfgang Bietenholz and Uwe-Jens Wiese, Cambridge University Press.

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

If these knots had a slight bias toward matter over antimatter, their unraveling could help explain the matter-antimatter imbalance, the paper stated. A thorough mathematical investigation of this ...

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...
