Most current models of the Big Bang rely on general relativity along with additional elements that are introduced to make the theory fit observations. In contrast, this new framework provides a more ...

The quantum layer will will not be exhausted by one hardware modality, one algorithmic framework or one vendor’s roadmap.

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always ...

Scientists at the University of Waterloo have uncovered a bold new way to explain how the universe began—one that could ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

Matrix models have emerged as a powerful framework in theoretical physics, offering a nonperturbative approach to describing quantum space-time. In these models, fundamental degrees of freedom are ...

Theoretical physicists Joao Magueijo and Lee Smolin have proposed that time is not merely a backdrop against which the universe unfolds but a quantum variable that directly shapes cosmic expansion.

Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Perimeter institute have discovered a new cosmological model, challenging the traditional understanding of the Big Bang origin. The new ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

Quantum gravity and cosmology represent a frontier in theoretical physics where the principles of quantum mechanics are integrated with the framework of general relativity. This synthesis is crucial ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth curvature of spacetime, the other the jittery statistics of particles and ...

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, SWITZERLAND, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In recent decades, physics has entered a period of rapid expansion in empirical knowledge ...
