String theory has long been presented as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the Universe.

Theories about space and time have always been the great misunderstood ones for the general public, but one of the great ...

Three intertwined time directions may underpin everything, turning space into mere “paint on the canvas” and pushing physics ...

Imaginary time is a wonky concept for our time-bound brains, but in quantum theory and mathematics, it’s a useful tool for ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

Hannah Cairo has solved the so-called Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, a problem in harmonic analysis closely linked to other central results in the field. This fall, she will begin her doctoral studies ...

A festinating new theory shifts focus from space to time, arguing the clock-ticking we take for granted is richer and weirder ...

The idea of a particle that races faster than light has long fascinated physicists. Known as the tachyon, it was originally ...
