Every time a coffee mug drops, a satellite orbits or an astronaut floats, we are watching the same phenomenon play out under ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time — shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

The answer comes from a counterintuitive result of special relativity, a field of physics which is notoriously difficult to ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Since Einstein, physicists have found that certain entities can reach superluminal (that means "faster-than-light") speeds and still follow the cosmic rules laid down by special relativity.

On the surface, Chloé Zhao and Josh Safdie are not similar filmmakers. But together, in a one-on-one conversation, the ...

It's estimated there may be trillions of rogue planets wandering through the Milky Way, unbound to any star. Since detecting our first ones, we have been presented with an odd mystery.

Astronomers have directly observed a spinning black hole twisting spacetime, confirming a century-old prediction of ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

ABSTRACT: A new conceptual framework is presented that unifies Gödel’s incompleteness theorems with practical physical modeling through information-theoretic analysis. The method of variables with ...

The final episode of fifth season of the Netflix series Stranger Things is out this week, and the concept of a wormhole ...
