Social feeds are filling with breathless claims that on 8/12/26, Earth will briefly “turn off” gravity for seven seconds, ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth space-time with the jittery world of quantum mechanics. A new wave of ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An image of a black hole surrounded by matter. Does the secret of quantum gravity lie around ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics. Now scientists ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

The breakthrough could suggest a way to study 'quantum gravity,' the missing link between quantum physics and Einstein's general relativity in the lab. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Alex May, whose research explores the intersection of quantum ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...
