A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

The main idea is to have a gravity gauge theory with a symmetry that is similar to the Standard Model symmetries, instead of ...

Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go ...

At Utah State University, researchers are using a radical idea known as the holographic principle to bridge the gap. By ...
