Scientists have discovered that dark matter, the universe's most mysterious "stuff," obeys gravity on vast cosmological ...

The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole.

In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of physicists led by Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia ...

“We showed that if black hole morsels are created during mergers, they would produce a burst of high-energy gamma rays, with the delay time related to their mass,” Dr. Cacciapaglia said. “Our analysis ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

For years, dark matter has puzzled scientists, lurking in the universe’s vast expanse yet eluding direct detection. This ...

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors like LIGO—has completed its first science run. The Quantum Enhanced ...

Quantum gravity challenges the classical notion of spacetime by positing that the smooth, continuous fabric described by general relativity may arise from more fundamental, non-spatiotemporal entities ...

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...

Most of today’s leading theoretical physicists have a shared perspective about what the next revolution in physics will look like. They think reconciling Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity ...

Scientists in Wales have built the world’s most sensitive table-top interferometer, which is a miniature, ultra-precise instrument capable of measuring distortions in space-time smaller than a ...
