A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always ...

Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Perimeter institute have discovered a new cosmological model, challenging the traditional understanding of the Big Bang origin. The new ...

A team of physicists have proposed a new idea for uniting quantum mechanics and gravity, which they believe could explain the ...

Scientists at the University of Waterloo have uncovered a bold new way to explain how the universe began—one that could ...

The study of quantum gravity seeks a synthesis between quantum mechanics and general relativity, and Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) has emerged as a promising nonperturbative approach. In CDT, ...

Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a non-perturbative, background-independent approach to quantising spacetime that seeks to merge the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In this ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

Scientists show helium atoms can exist in two places at once, preserving quantum behavior even as they fall under gravity.

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

Scientists have taken lasers beyond light and into the realm of sound, creating a breakthrough “phonon laser” that ...
