Physicists who work with a concept called string theory envision our universe as an eerie place with at least nine spatial dimensions, six of them hidden from us, perhaps curled up in some way so they ...

One of the weirdest theories in cosmology is the holographic principle, the idea that our universe is a three-dimensional image projected off a two-dimensional surface — the idea that, yes, we are ...

Physicists have taken a bold step beyond Einstein's special theory of relativity, proposing an expansion of special relativity that includes observers moving faster than light. This fresh perspective ...

In a groundbreaking exploration of physics, researchers have revealed a way to extend Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity to accommodate superluminal observers—those moving faster than ...

The largest-ever three-dimensional map of the cosmos, plotting out some 15 million celestial objects, could help reveal the ultimate fate of the universe. Astrophysicists know that the universe is ...

It is believed that matter, motion, gravity, and everything else we know of originated from the three dimensions of space and one of time. However, a new idea challenges this theory, suggesting that ...
