Mind = blown.

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

For nearly a century, astronomers have watched galaxies spin and the universe expand in ways that visible matter alone cannot ...

From the fall of an apple to the glow of the farthest known star, gravity quietly choreographs almost everything that happens ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

The result from CERN confirms expectations, but it's the first time gravity’s effect on the stuff has actually been tested. Reading time 3 minutes In the 95 years we’ve known about antimatter, ...

An astrophysicist has shown that gravity may be able to exist without mass, a theory that suggests dark matter may not be necessary to explain phenomena observed in our universe. Dark matter is a ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...
