Erik Verlinde's emergent gravity theory makes sense of the behavior of gravity without the need for the existence of a dark matter particle. Researchers from the Leiden Observatory have studied ...

Thanks to Einstein's theory of relativity, numerous tests have concluded tangible effects on how we on Earth record and ...

Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go ...

Science has constantly pushed the boundaries of what we know, from exploring galaxies to examining subatomic particles. But ...

Generations of researchers have tried to create a quantum theory of gravity, and their work has produced sophisticated ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

The theory is proposed by Professor Erik Verlinde, a researcher from the Delta Institute for Theoretical Physics in Amsterdam, and its core idea is that gravity is not a real force but is just an ...

We are still testing Einstein’s theory of gravity — the results are getting weird Go big or go home. by The Conversation, Kazuya Koyama and Levon Pogosian Updated: Feb. 20, 2024 ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been remarkably successful in describing the gravity of stars and planets, but it doesn’t seem to apply perfectly on all scales.

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single ...
