Few ideas in modern science have reshaped our understanding of reality more profoundly than space-time: the interwoven fabric of space and time at the heart of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity.

On January 22, 2025, physicists unveiled a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize our understanding of the universe and potentially unlock the secrets of time travel. The existence 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 ...

What if our biggest idea about reality is built on a hidden misunderstanding? A new philosophical look at space-time challenges the popular view that the past, present, and future all exist together ...

The September read for the New Scientist Book Club was a challenging trip to the edges of space-time with Chanda Prescod-Weinstein – but one which most book club members thoroughly enjoyed ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...
