Theoretical Physics: The Origins of Space and Time

Many researchers believe that physics will not be complete until it can explain not just the behavior of space and time, but where these entities come from. “Imagine waking up one day and realizing t…

MIT Is Constructing A Miniature Sun That Could Supply Us With An Unlimited Supply Of Green Energy

Fast forward 15 years and we could be living in a world with an unlimited supply of green energy. MIT has announced it is working with a private firm to build a nuclear fusion power plant capable of …

Nothing is solid: This is the world of Quantum Physics

Nobel Prize winning physicists have proven beyond doubt that the physical world is one large sea of energy that flashes into and out of being in milliseconds, over and over again. Nothing is solid. T…

A Nobel Prize-Winning Physicist Just Cracked Time Travel—Here's How It's Possible

Last year, Kip S. Thorne collected a Nobel Prize (along with Rainer Weiss and Barry C. Barish) for his work on gravitational waves. Now, Thorne may have made a new breakthrough: a theoretical method …

Unknown Region Void of Galaxies is Pushing the Milky Way at Hyperspeed

Until now, scientists assumed that a dense region of the universe is pulling us toward it, in the same way that gravity made Newton's apple fall to earth. The initial "prime suspect" wa…

Brian Greene: Making Sense of String Theory & the Hidden Universe

Anyone who loves physics knows about String Theory. If, by some miraculous chance, you've never heard of it before…well, prepare to be introduced to one of the most interesting and highly contest…

"Time is Slowly Disappearing from Our Universe" (Or, is It Timeless?)

What if the time part of the space- time continuum equation was literally running out? Perhaps evidence suggests that time is slowly disappearing from our universe, and will one day vanish completely…

The Most Intense Cosmic Explosion Out There Has Been Captured as It Happened

The most powerful kind of cosmic explosions known to science are called gamma-ray bursts – aka ' death from space ' – galactic events so fierce their awesome intensity is only surpassed by th…

Particles and waves: The central mystery of quantum mechanics

One of the best astounding facts in physics is that everything in the cosmos, from light to electrons to atoms, acts like both a particle and a wave at the same time. But the question is how did phys…

What Was Our Universe Like Before the Big Bang?

Theoretical physicists and cosmologists deal with the biggest questions­, like “Why are we here?” “When did the universe begin?” and “How?” Another questions that bugs them, and likely has bugged you…

Researchers Just Recorded The Sound Of An Atom For The First Time

In a recent paper published in Science , the chief writer Martin Gustafasson explains how an artificial atom and “the weediest sound that can be distinguished” form a device for studying quantum beha…

Physicists Are About to Attempt The 'Impossible' - Turning Light Into Matter

Theoretically, it should be possible to turn light into matter. In practice, well - "easier said than done" is an understatement. Now, 84 years after the process was first theorized, some r…

Gravity's River - New Research on Black Hole Points to Gravity as a Fluid

The acknowledged understanding between gravitational researchers has been that space-time cannot turn into turbulent. New study from Perimeter, however, illustrates that the acknowledged understandin…
