Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory—the idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating strings—could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.

String theory's equations give rise to a near infinite variety of potential universes in a 'landscape.' This landscape is surrounded by a 'swampland' of solutions that are incompatible with any ...

We live our lives thinking that the universe spread out before our eyes is 'the real universe'.But what if the same universe could appear in a completely different form?In fact, modern physics has a ...

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics describes all known fundamental particles and three forces: electromagnetism, ...

Ashoke Sen, an acclaimed theoretical physicist hailing from Kolkata, received the prestigious Oskar Klein Medal in 2026. His groundbreaking contributions have significantly advanced string theory, ...

Explore the groundbreaking work of Ashoke Sen, the Indian theoretical physicist who unified five string theories into M-Theory, solved the D-brane decay mystery, and reconciled black hole paradoxes.

What if the Universe is an illusion? What if your reality is not what it seems to be? What if you are you’re just a 2D ...

In the previous article, I thought about Rényi entropy, replica wormholes, and quantum extremal surfaces. Although three ...

Scientists are rethinking the universe’s deepest mysteries using numerical relativity, complex computer simulations of Einstein’s equations in extreme conditions. This method could help explore what ...
