A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers aren’t so sure.

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other ...

“We showed that if black hole morsels are created during mergers, they would produce a burst of high-energy gamma rays, with the delay time related to their mass,” Dr. Cacciapaglia said. “Our analysis ...

While this may complicate the quest for a clear experimental signature of quantum gravity, it does not render such tests useless. According to the research team, both classical and quantum models of ...

For obvious reasons, we do not know what the inside of a black hole looks like. But thanks to theoretical physics, we can ask ...

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 ...

Could the deepest laws of nature ever be reduced to lines of code? A team of physicists from Canada, the United States, the ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect ...

In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of physicists led by Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia ...

The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than an idle science fiction ...

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 ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the ...
