Consciousness is fundamental; only thereafter do time, space and matter arise. This is the starting point for a new ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

Will the universe keep existing forever? An astrophysicist explains how scientists aren’t entirely sure, but they can make ...

In 1919, physicist Theodor Kaluza hypothesized that extra dimensions might solve some outstanding problems in physics. And ...

Scientists have many big questions to tackle about the universe, including how big it actually is. But even the proposed ...

An international team, spearheaded by Prof. Luciano Rezzolla at the Goethe-Universität, has invented a novel approach to ...

Twin black hole collisions detected in 2024 have provided the sharpest-ever test of Einstein’s theory while revealing new details about how black holes form and spin. Credit: Carl Knox, OzGrav, ...

Today's cutting-edge theory—quantum gravity—suggests that even space and time aren't fundamental. They emerge from something deeper: pure information. This information exists in what physicists call a ...

ABSTRACT: Unresolved aspects of quantum mechanics and cosmic energy motivated the development of a two-compartment model of the universe. Building on that foundation, the present work extends the ...

Astronomers know the universe is expanding, and that its rate of expansion is continually accelerating. Most explanations rely on “dark energy” to explain this phenomenon, but a new study takes a ...

Researchers have unveiled a new model for the universe’s birth that replaces cosmic inflation with gravitational waves as the driving force behind creation. Their simulations show that gravity and ...
