We explore Objective Collapse Theories in a down to earth objective way. Objective Collapse Theories offer a explanation of quantum mechanics that is at once brand new and based in classical mechanics ...

What is behind dark energy—and what connects it to the cosmological constant introduced by Albert Einstein? Two physicists from the University of Luxembourg point the way to answering these open ...

The universe has a number of bizarre properties that are difficult to understand with everyday experience. For example, the matter we know, consisting of elementary and composite particles building ...

“A theory that coherently describes all fundamental forces of nature is often called the Theory of Everything,” Aalto University postdoctoral researcher Mikko Partanen said. It has been the physicists ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...
