Quote of the day by Newton: 1915 changed physics forever. In that year, Albert Einstein published the general theory of relativity and reshaped our understanding of gravity and spacetime. For 228 ...

CHICO — What goes up, must come down. The sounds of at least 400 children counting down to see pumpkins falling from the sky reverberated Thursday from Trinity Commons at Chico State as the children ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

A longstanding goal in physics has been to link general relativity with quantum theory and so unify the forces of nature. Theories of quantum gravity, however, are plagued by the weak theoretical ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

My travel schedule has become much busier recently, so I’ve been on a lot of flights. This inspired me to share what I think is a helpful metaphor. Please bear with me. In the late 1600s, Isaac Newton ...
