One of the most astonishing facts about science is how universally applicable the laws of nature are. Every particle obeys the same rules, experiences the same forces, and sees the same fundamental ...

Trying to solve quantum gravity is frustrating. We have made tremendous progress in quantum theory, but it seems that every ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

Four fundamental forces are known in physics: the weak and strong interactions, and the electromagnetic and gravitational forces. The gravitational force is the weakest of these four. For this reason, ...

Dark matter is thought to make up most of the matter in the universe, but the only way it interacts with its surroundings is ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

There are two fundamental classes of theories required to describe the entirety of the Universe. On the one hand, there's quantum field theory, which describes electromagnetism and the nuclear forces, ...
