Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

Scientists are exploring a revolutionary theory that suggests human consciousness might operate as a quantum hologram, ...

This balance—neurons as the silent bee workers, waves as the queen’s rhythm holding the hive together—suggests consciousness ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

Astrophysicists at the University of Chicago have developed physics-based models suggesting that dark energy could be ...

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity led modern cosmologists to much the same conclusion. The theory holds that space and time are soft, malleable entities. On the largest scales, space is ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

If you wave your hand in front of your face, you won’t notice anything particularly interesting. Perhaps a gentle waft of air against your cheek – that’s about it. No epiphany. No major sign that ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense." A team of scientists has developed a recipe for ...
