Quantum gravity research aims to merge general relativity and quantum mechanics, potentially reshaping our understanding of ...

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, ...

By using light to emulate the structure of space-time, researchers can better understand black holes – and the exotic objects ...

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

Using a neural network trained with simulations of supermassive black holes, astronomers have found that the one at the ...

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.
