Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Physicists are increasingly entertaining a radical possibility: our familiar universe of three dimensions of space and one of ...

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

For more than a century, physicists have suspected that the familiar three dimensions of space might be only a small slice of reality. The idea that the universe could be hiding several additional ...

The Standard Model of our universe doesn’t match the evidence, in part because of dark energy, a ghostly force pushing the ...

Physicists who work with a concept called string theory envision our universe as an eerie place with at least nine spatial dimensions, six of them hidden from us, perhaps curled up in some way so they ...

Physicists have taken a bold step beyond Einstein's special theory of relativity, proposing an expansion of special relativity that includes observers moving faster than light. This fresh perspective ...

Time, not space plus time, might be the single fundamental property in which all physical phenomena occur, according to a new theory by a University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist. The theory also ...

One of the weirdest theories in cosmology is the holographic principle, the idea that our universe is a three-dimensional image projected off a two-dimensional surface — the idea that, yes, we are ...
