The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...
