"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave. The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many physicists would agree with that, but once you ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

After two decades and more than half a billion dollars, LIGO, the world's largest gravitational-wave observatory, is on the verge of a detection. Maybe. In the Louisiana swamps just east of Baton ...

Right at the brink of a black hole, gravity twists space and time so violently that ordinary physics starts to fall apart.

Three U.S. physicists won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for their work that led to the detection of gravitational waves — the ripples in space-time made when black holes collide and when other ...

The top of the bluff just south of the Torrey Pines Golf Course is a special place for those looking to take a leap off a cliff to fly. The combination of a cool ocean, hot land and a steep bluff make ...
