A novel theory of 'wavy space-time' suggests that the division between our best descriptions of the universe on its smallest and largest scales may be because gravity does not play by quantum rules.

Recent theoretical advances have underscored the significance of momentum space geometry in the realm of relativistic physics. Traditional notions of flat momentum space are being re-evaluated in ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...
