The gravity experiments that could rewrite physics
Physics is filled with mysteries - and believe it or not, gravity remains one of them. We rely on gravity to explain things large and small. And yet, at a fundamental level, we still don’t fully ...
For more than a century, quantum mechanics and Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity have each passed countless tests, but physicists have struggled to reconcile the two. Now, scientists in ...
Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful theories of physics: quantum mechanics and gravity. Quantum mechanics explains the ...
