Researchers at IPhT (CEA, CNRS) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have shown that gravity—and with it, ...

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Researchers have demonstrated that pairs of helium atoms can exist in two places at once while remaining linked in motion by ...

Most current models of the Big Bang rely on general relativity along with additional elements that are introduced to make the theory fit observations. In contrast, this new framework provides a more ...

The Big Bang refers to that gigantic explosion responsible for setting up the universe to grow into the world we observe ...

A new physics paper proposes modifications to Einstein’s theory of relativity that could solve one of the biggest issues ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

Scientists show helium atoms can exist in two places at once, preserving quantum behavior even as they fall under gravity.
