Physicists are increasingly entertaining a radical possibility: our familiar universe of three dimensions of space and one of ...

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

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity describes gravity as the warping of space-time geometry by mass, a concept distinct from Isaac Newton's absolute space and time, and has been empirically ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion of the universe.

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

Jan. 10, Tuesday -- Are there hidden dimensions of space and time beyond the four that we know? Could a universe in another dimension explain phenomena in our universe? Lisa Randall, professor of ...

If you’re struggling to wrap your head around the idea of further dimensions, this scientist’s garden-hose analogy may help. Humans experience reality in three spatial dimensions - length, width and ...

Sept. 7 - “The Quantum Physics of Climate Change,” with Brad Marston, Brown University An unlikely partnership between a theoretical physicist and a horror filmmaker has produced a surprising result: ...

One of the most important open questions in science is how our consciousness is established. In the 1990s, long before winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his prediction of black holes, ...

We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...
