A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter ...

Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

Measuring the time discrepancy between Earth and Mars will help make future navigation and communication systems on the Red ...

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you'll ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense." A team of scientists has developed a recipe for ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

This story is part of our Cosmic Perspective special, in which we confront the staggering vastness of the cosmos and our place in it. Read the rest of the series here. We tend to think of space-time ...

What does it mean to be to space-time? The seemingly simple question gets to the essence of twentieth-century physics and has driven a hundred-year debate between philosophy and science. In Einstein’s ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

John von Neumann came about as close as humanly possible to embodying the Platonic ideal of a genius. Conversant in ancient Greek by age 6, the Hungarian made significant mathematical advances in his ...
