A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

Researchers at the University of Twente and Utrecht University demonstrated for the first time that quantum states in the ...

A new study suggests that gravity could quantum-entangle particles even if it remained classical.

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

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.

Consciousness is fundamental; only thereafter do time, space and matter arise. This is the starting point for a new theoretical model of the nature of reality, presented by Maria Strømme, Professor of ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

Quantum invariants have emerged as powerful algebraic and numerical tools that encapsulate the subtleties of topological structures. By drawing on quantum group theory and the constructs of ...

This article is the first part of a series about quantum field theory published by Quanta Magazine. Other stories in the series can be found here. Over the past century, quantum field theory has ...

Going to smaller and smaller distance scales reveals more fundamental views of nature, which means if we can understand and describe the smallest scales, we can build our way to an understanding of ...

The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light ...
