Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

General relativity stands as one of the bedrock theories in modern physics. Its strange view of relative time and space has been confirmed by countless experimental and observational tests, from ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity views time similarly to width, height, and length. As such, both time and space can be curved by gravity. This effectively means that time is slower the closer ...

In this thought-provoking work, Williams introduces Temporal Energy Theory (TET), which reconceptualizes time as an active energy field. Within the TET framework, the relative nature of time (as ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover examines the latest developments in the “forever war” over whether string theory can describe the ...
