Disclaimer: I am very much a physics noob. This might be a nonsensical question. That spacetime can be curved or warped is something I can grasp, but I keep getting stuck on one specific aspect of how ...

A doomed star spiraling into a supermassive black hole has given physicists one of their clearest looks yet at how gravity ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

(Nanowerk News) According to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, space and time are inextricably connected. In our Universe, whose curvature is barely measurable, the structure of this spacetime is fixed ...

The connection between quantum physics and the theory of relativity is extremely hard to study. But now, scientists have set up a model system, which can help: Quantum particles can be tuned in such a ...

Large masses – such as a galaxy – curve space-time. Objects move along a geodesic. If we take into account that space-time itself has quantum properties, deviations arise (dashed line vs. solid line).

I've been trying to explain quantum physics, forces, relativity, and space-time to my kid and we had a question that I'm finding difficult to find a solid answer to. Background you can skip if you ...

Einstein's general theory of relativity, published in 1915, relates spacetime curvature to matter distribution, leading to the Schwarzschild solution describing a black hole. The Schwarzschild ...

Recent theoretical advances have underscored the significance of momentum space geometry in the realm of relativistic physics. Traditional notions of flat momentum space are being re-evaluated in ...
