The ‘quantum’ principle that says why atoms are as they are
It was a product of what is now labelled the old quantum theory — a period of ad hoc theorizing between 1900 and 1925 that led to the introduction of a consistent theory of quantum mechanics in ...
Distinguishing classical from quantum gravity through measurable stochastic fluctuations
In a new Physical Review Letters study, researchers propose an experimental approach that could finally determine whether ...

Shock study: Black holes turn into white holes where 'time runs backwards'
New theory posits black holes may transition into ‘white holes’, ejecting matter and potentially even time itself, back into ...
Cosmic dark energy may be weakening, astronomers say, raising questions about the fate of the universe
The universe has been expanding ever since the Big Bang almost 14 billion years ago, and astronomers believe a kind of invisible force called dark energy is making it accelerate faster.
