Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

Physicists from around the country converged at UC Santa Barbara for two days of talks and camaraderie in memory of esteemed physicist Professor Jim Hartle, one of four cofounders of the campus’s ...

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

Quantum cosmology and loop quantum gravity constitute two intertwined pillars in the quest for a quantum theory of gravity. Quantum cosmology applies the principles of quantum mechanics to the entire ...

Matrix models have emerged as a powerful framework in theoretical physics, offering a nonperturbative approach to describing quantum space-time. In these models, fundamental degrees of freedom are ...

UChicago physics Prof. Bonnie Fleming, who is also the chief research officer at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, is ...

Where did the universe come from? Where is it headed? Answering these ­questions requires that we understand physics on two vastly different scales: the cosmological, referring to the realm of galaxy ...

Thomas Hertog is professor of theoretical physics at KU Leuven (Belgium). The late physicist Stephen Hawking first asked me to work with him to develop “a new quantum theory of the Big Bang” in 1998.

The powers of creation exist within us. Source: Image by Zulman/iStock Hints about the biocentric nature of the universe have been made by some of the greatest scientists in modern physics, including ...
