Time, not space plus time, might be the single fundamental property in which all physical phenomena occur, according to a new theory by a University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist. The theory also ...

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.

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 fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you’ll ...

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity—which explains gravity as the product of the distortion of space and time—may not be universally applicable. This is the conclusion of physicists from ...

To square Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity with quantum mechanics requires some currently unknown physics, and that’s led some scientists to question if Einstein’s theory could use some ...
