Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something particles simply possess, a built-in feature explained by the Higgs field but not fully illuminated by it. A new wave of research is now ...

Physicists are quietly testing wild new theories that treat a hidden fifth dimension as more than science fiction, suggesting ...

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity describes gravity as the warping of space-time geometry by mass, a concept distinct from Isaac Newton's absolute space and time, and has been empirically ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests ...

Jan. 10, Tuesday -- Are there hidden dimensions of space and time beyond the four that we know? Could a universe in another dimension explain phenomena in our universe? Lisa Randall, professor of ...

If you’re struggling to wrap your head around the idea of further dimensions, this scientist’s garden-hose analogy may help. Humans experience reality in three spatial dimensions - length, width and ...

One of the most important open questions in science is how our consciousness is established. In the 1990s, long before winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his prediction of black holes, ...

Sept. 7 - “The Quantum Physics of Climate Change,” with Brad Marston, Brown University An unlikely partnership between a theoretical physicist and a horror filmmaker has produced a surprising result: ...

Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...
