A straightforward math tweak could bring tachyon fields into line with the rest of physics. Tachyons are faster-than-light particles, and tachyon fields are special cases of quantum field. The math ...

120 years ago, a revolution took place in physics that — to an outsider — might seem like an inconsequential matter. 120 years ago, Einstein put forth his special theory of relativity, asserting that ...

The study of black holes within the framework of general relativity continues to advance our understanding of gravitation under extreme conditions. Black holes, with their intricate interplay of mass, ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe could be explained by modifying general relativity so that gravity has mass – or so thinks a small group of physicists. Matthew Francis reports What lies ...
