Physicists are increasingly entertaining a radical possibility: our familiar universe of three dimensions of space and one of ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity describes gravity as the warping of space-time geometry by mass, a concept distinct from Isaac Newton's absolute space and time, and has been empirically ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion of the universe.

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden dimensions, a new theoretical paper has demonstrated. The work has outlined a way ...

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

If you’re struggling to wrap your head around the idea of further dimensions, this scientist’s garden-hose analogy may help. Humans experience reality in three spatial dimensions - length, width and ...
