A novel theory of 'wavy space-time' suggests that the division between our best descriptions of the universe on its smallest and largest scales may be because gravity does not play by quantum rules.

It’s time we talked about loop quantum gravity. What exactly is it? What are the loops? And can it really defeat string theory in our quest for a Theory of Everything? PBS Space Time is ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

Key Takeaways on What Space-Time Is Einstein's theory of general relativity views time similarly to width, height, and length. As such, both time and space can be curved by gravity.

One of the most powerful uses of bumblebee gravity models is to potentially explain dark energy —the phenomenon responsible for the observed accelerated expansion of the universe.

Scientists have applied the loop quantum gravity theory to black holes in order to understand their mechanics ...

Black holes are one of the most fascinating and mysterious phenomena in the universe. These cosmic giants have such immense gravitational pull that they distort the very fabric of space and time ...

Researchers suggest gravity's role as cosmic binder could be revealed by slight ripples in the space-time continuum.

But in the idea of entropic gravity — as well as some other scenarios (like qbits) — gravitation or even space and time themselves might emerge from other entities in a similar fashion.

Observing time distortions could show whether Einstein's theory of general relativity accounts for the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.

Hit film 'Gravity' launches some eyebrows among space industry professionals for scientific accuracy — but they still like it.

Recently, scientists applied a theory called loop quantum gravity to the case of black holes, and found that inside these objects, space and time may be extremely curved, but that gravity there is ...
