Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here.

What is the Theory of Everything, and why is it so important? This video explores the science behind this elusive goal, from ...

Brian Greene is one of the foremost scientists and science communicators of our time. Greene, a theoretical physicist at Columbia University, has been working for decades to advance our understanding ...

Gauge theory and string theory represent two foundational pillars in contemporary theoretical physics, offering profound insights into the nature of fundamental interactions and the structure of the ...

String theory's equations give rise to a near infinite variety of potential universes in a 'landscape.' This landscape is surrounded by a 'swampland' of solutions that are incompatible with any ...

Analysis: There are gazillions of different possible universes that can be described and understood using the tools provided by string theory If we look out into the sky on a clear night, all we see ...

String theory proposes that the fundamental constituents of the universe are one-dimensional “strings” rather than point-like particles. What we perceive as particles are actually vibrations in loops ...

Physicists claim they may have found a long-awaited explanation for dark energy, the mysterious force that's driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, a new preprint study hints. Their ...
