Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths ...

Gravitational physics has become a truly experimental science as tests of the special and general theories of relativity reach new levels of precision Right on time When I was a first-term graduate ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...

Since its introduction by Albert Einstein in 1905 (ref. 1), special relativity has been the accepted theory of local space-time. It not only resolved severe open questions in electrodynamics but ...

Yesterday, I wrote about the core concepts needed to understand quantum physics, which is one of the two pillars of modern physics. The other, of course, is the theory of relativity, the full and ...

First of all, the prevailing quantum theory, quantum field theory, is fully relativistic from the onset. Relativity is “built into” the theory, so to speak. And it’s the only quantum theory that is ...
