According to the theory, our reality is encoded on the boundary of a black hole within a much larger universe.

Across physics, biology and philosophy, a once-fringe idea is gaining new intellectual weight: the possibility that the ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

What exactly is … everything? What is space-time? At one extreme, you’ve got the weird rules of quantum physics that deal with subatomic particles. At the other extreme, you’ve got the vast expanses ...

Nature speaks to theoretical physicists to explore the real theories that inspired the hit series. Warning: contains spoilers ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew.

Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.

Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of ...

Since classical computers face limitations while modelling on how many particles interact, Quantum computers are just what is needed to move physics beyond ...
