Recent advances in theoretical physics have increasingly highlighted the pivotal role of algebraic structures in unifying particle physics with quantum gravity. These approaches leverage sophisticated ...

Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the elusive graviton—the quantum particle of gravity—whose discovery will finally ...

Nash, L. (2026) On the Size of the Electron in a Quantum Universe. Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology, ...

The Higgs boson is the only fundamental particle known to be scalar, meaning it has no quantum spin. This fact answers questions about our universe, but it also raises new ones. When it was first ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

The Universe we perceive and view, all around us, isn't representative of what actually exists at a fundamental level. Instead of continuous, solid objects, matter is composed of indivisible quantum ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

In the periodic table, no element is more important than another one. But in the Standard Model—a theory that explains the smallest constituents of the universe and the forces that govern them, minus ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you wanted to answer the question of what's truly fundamental in ...

Is General Relativity the correct theory of gravitation? Can gravity be used to detect new fundamental fields? A recent Letter appearing today in Nature Astronomy, authored by a researcher of the GSSI ...
