A controversial theory suggests the observable universe is the result of matter rebounding after the collapse of a black hole in another parent universe.

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings ...

Hennigar's team used modified gravity to deal with the singularity, but scientists say that general relativity and quantum mechanics should be combined. The problems with string theory, however, ...

Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that ...

String theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental particles aren’t points but tiny vibrating strings, whose different modes create the variety of matter and forces, including gravity through the ...

The Physics of Gravity: Einstein vs. Quantum Gravity General relativity describes gravity as spacetime curvature but conflicts with quantum mechanics at black hole singularities. Loop quantum gravity ...

By adapting mathematical techniques used in particle physics, researchers in Germany have developed an approach that could ...

Physicists have made a striking leap toward solving one of science’s deepest riddles—what lies at the heart of a black hole.

What lies at the heart of a black hole has puzzled physicists for decades. Now, a team led by physicist Enrico Rinaldi has taken a bold approach to the mystery.

At least, that’s the conclusion of an international team of researchers that applied geometric structures inspired by particle physics and string theory to the behavior of black holes when the ...

A new study achieves unprecedented accuracy in modelling extreme cosmic events like black hole and neutron ... complex geometric structures from string theory and algebraic geometry -- within ...
