Warp drive has long been shorthand for “pure fantasy,” a narrative device that lets starships hop between stars without ...

For the first time, a group of physicists has written down a warp drive concept that does not ask the universe for impossible ...

Spacetime itself would also need to be “quantized,” or broken down into constituent parts. This is what the notorious string theory attempts to do, as does loop quantum gravity, currently considered a ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

Astronomers have observed a star wobbling in its orbit around a ravenous supermassive black hole that is ripping it apart and ...

A South Korean physicist has proposed a theoretical framework that could support the unification of quantum mechanics and the ...

Astronomers have detected spacetime itself being dragged and twisted by a spinning black hole for the first time. The ...

A team of scientists has used X-ray and gamma-ray observations of some of the most distant objects in the Universe to better understand the nature of space and time. Their results set limits on the ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths ...

How to build a particle collider the size of the solar system. To observe the quantum nature of gravity and of spacetime itself, we need a particle collider the size of the solar system. Or we could ...

Champaign-Urbana art lovers and physics enthusiasts alike gathered at the Link Art Gallery Monday evening to explore physics-themed projects created by students from academic backgrounds across the ...
