That’s what the Hierarchy Problem is, and that problem is by many measures the greatest unsolved problem in physics. We don't know the answer, but we're not completely in the dark on this.

A Princeton scientist with an interdisciplinary bent has taken two well-known problems in mathematics and reformulated them as a physics question, offering new tools to solve challenges relevant to a ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Did the early universe have just one spatial dimension? That's the mind-boggling concept at the heart of a theory that University at Buffalo physicist Dejan Stojkovic and colleagues ...

Researchers attempting to solve the problem of dark matter have proposed a particle that can travel to an unseen fifth dimension. The work is entirely… ...

Physicists have proposed an innovative theory linking dark matter to a hypothetical fifth dimension, suggesting a groundbreaking solution to one of the most enduring mysteries of the cosmos. Their ...

In 1951, physicist Julian Schwinger theorized that by applying a uniform electrical field to a vacuum, electron-positron ...

In my physics classes, I like to present students with problems that can promote a lively discussion—and to do that, they have to have multiple answers that could possibly make sense.

It suggests your subjective experience might come from both your physical brain and the mysterious quantum activity within it ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial ...
